What number should both sides of the equation −7x=14

Question

be divided by to solve for the value of x
?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-7x = 14\) for \(x\), you should divide both sides of the equation by \(-7\).

This will isolate \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{14}{-7} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = -2 \]

So, you should divide both sides by \(-7\).
