Given the expression:


-fx-g=h

to start solving for x, first we need to move the -g to the other side of the equation. Since it has a negative sign, when we move it, the sign has to change:


\begin{gathered} -fx-g=h \\ \Rightarrow-fx=h+g \end{gathered}

Now, we have that -f is multiplying x. When we move it to the other side, f must divide the expression h+g:


\begin{gathered} -fx=h+g \\ \Rightarrow x=(h+g)/(-f) \end{gathered}

therefore, the equation to solve for x is x=(h+g)/-f
