only write the number for your answer!
x=
blank 1:

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -7

$\frac{-7(3x + 2)}{-7} = \frac{7}{-7}$
$3x + 2 = -1$

Step2: Subtract 2 from both sides

$3x + 2 - 2 = -1 - 2$
$3x = -3$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-3}{3}$
$x = -1$

Answer:

-1
