To solve for the value of x in the equation -7x = 14, both sides of the equation should be divided by -7.
When we divide -7x by -7, the -7 on the left side of the equation cancels out, leaving only x. Thus, the equation becomes:
x = 14 / -7
x = -2
Therefore, the value of x is -2.
What number should both sides of the equation −7x=14 be divided by to solve for the value of x
