Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{x=-7}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you have to find the value of x to isolate it on one side of the equation.

-2x=14

First, you divide by -2 from both sides.

-2x/-2=14/-2

Solve.

Divide these numbers from left to right.

14/-2=-7

x=-7

• Therefore, the final answer is x=-7.
