To solve the equation \(-7x = 14\) for \(x\), you should divide both sides of the equation by \(-7\).
Here are the steps:
-
Start with the equation: \[ -7x = 14 \]
-
Divide both sides by \(-7\): \[ x = \frac{14}{-7} \]
-
Calculate: \[ x = -2 \]
So, to solve for \(x\), you should divide both sides by \(-7\). The solution for \(x\) is \(-2\).
