Solve -2=-3/7(-3)+x

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

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{23}{7} = -3\frac{2}{7} \approx -3.285714286$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -\frac{3}{7}\left(-3\right) as a single fraction.

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

Multiply -3 and -3 to get 9.

$$-2=\frac{9}{7}+x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{9}{7}+x=-2$$

Subtract \frac{9}{7} from both sides.

$$x=-2-\frac{9}{7}$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{14}{7}.

$$x=-\frac{14}{7}-\frac{9}{7}$$

Since -\frac{14}{7} and \frac{9}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-14-9}{7}$$

Subtract 9 from -14 to get -23.

$$x=-\frac{23}{7}$$
