Solve for x.
-2x-3=-7

-2x-3=-7

add 3 to both sides

-2x=-4

isolate x by diving both sides by -2

x=2

Hope that helps!

Please mark brainliest

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole goal when solving problems like this is to get the x alone. So the first step would be to get the -3 over to the other side. To do this, you would add 3 to each side of the equation, so that the -3 on the left side cancels out.

-2x - 3 = -7

+3          +3

-2x = -4

The next thing you need to do is divide each side by -2. You would do this because right now, the equation reads "negative two times x equals negative four". When you divide a multiplication problem, it cancels out, so you are left with just the x.

-2x = -4

÷ -2    ÷ -2

x = 2

You now have the value of x.
