\huge{\underline{\mathfrak{Given \: expression:-}}}

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
\huge{⟹ - 2x - (1)/(3) = (7)/(3)}


\large\bf{\underline{To\:find\:the\:value\:of\:x}}

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
⟹ - 2x = (7)/(3) + (1)/(3)

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
⟹ - 2x = (7 + 1)/(3)

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
⟹ x = (8)/(3) * (1)/( - 2)

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
⟹ x = (4)/( - 2)
