2x+2=-\left(7+x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2x+2=-7-x
To find the opposite of 7+x, find the opposite of each term.
2x+2+x=-7
Add x to both sides.
3x+2=-7
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x=-7-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x=-9
Subtract 2 from -7 to get -9.
x=\frac{-9}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-3
Divide -9 by 3 to get -3.
