To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Given: 15/7 = -3x
To cancel out the coefficient of x (-3), divide both sides of the equation by -3:
(15/7) / (-3) = x
Now, simplify the left side:
15/7 * (-1/3) = x
Multiply the numerators and denominators:
-15/21 = x
The final solution is x = -15/21, which can be simplified to x = -5/7.
