solve and explain the steps (please)

Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to try to get the x "by itself".
1. Subtract 7 from the left side
7+[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x = -1
-7+[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x=+7
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x = 6
2. Divide [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x by [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x = 6
x=6[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
x=9
Hope this helps and have a wonderful day :D
