What number should both sides of the equation?Negative seven x equal fourteen be divided by to solve for the value of eggs

1 answer

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

Here are the steps:

  1. Start with the equation: \[ -7x = 14 \]

  2. Divide both sides by \(-7\): \[ x = \frac{14}{-7} \]

  3. Calculate: \[ x = -2 \]

So, to solve for \(x\), you should divide both sides by \(-7\). The solution for \(x\) is \(-2\).
