Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

The first thing that I did to solve this equation was do the opposite of the positive 7 so I subtracted 7 on both sides.

-3x + 7 = -2

-7 = -7

---------------------

-3x = -9

Now we have the equation of -3x = -9. From there we will do the reciprocal of -3x so we will divide it on both sides.

-3x/-3 = -9/-3

----------------------

x = 3

And now we have the answer of x=3.
