Answer:

D. X=-56 (the answer should have a negative sign.)

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate by the x from one side of the equation.

Multiply by 7 from both sides of an equation.

x/7=-8


\sf(7x)/(7)=7(-8)

Solve.

7(-8)=-56


\large\boxed{x=-56}

Therefore, the correct answer is d. x=-56.
