Answer: -28

Explanation: Since x is being divided by -4, to solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by -4.

On the left side, the -4's will cancel

and on the right side, 7(-4) is -28.

So x = -28.

Please do not try to do this problem in your head.

Show the work that it takes to get x by itself.
