Answer:

x = -4

Explanation:

Add 7 to each side of the equation (left and right of the equal sign) which should get you to -6x = 24. Then multipy both sides by -1 to make the -6x positive and turn the 24 negative. That should leave you with 6x = -24, then divide by 6 on each side and your answer should be x = -4
