Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

first you want to distribute -4 throughout the parenthesis and you would get

-7 - 4x = 18

then you would add seven to negative seven and to 18, canceling out the seven already there which would leave you with

-4x = 24

then you divide -4 from both sides and get

x = -6

hope this explanation helps!
