if negative x over 7 equals negative 4 than
-x/7= -4
you must multiply each side by 7 to get rid of the fraction.
-x = -28
so...
x = 28
if your not sure of your answer, plug it in and work it out.

You are moving 4 and x. -X/7=-4/1. All whole numbers are over 1. So, you move the seven to the right side.
(-X)=(-4)7
Multiply -4*7=-28
The negatives cancel each other
therefore
X=28
Is this want you were looking for?

Write it out like this:
-x/7=-4
Multiply -7 on both sides:
(-7)(-x/7)=-4*-7
x=28
Check:
-28/7=-4
-4=-4
I hope this helps!

You want x to be by itself, so you divide both sides by 7 and you get -x=-28. Then x=28

-x/7=-4 multiply both sides by -7
x=28

-x/7=4
Multiply each side of the equation by 7
(-x/7)(7)=(4)(7)
-x=28
x=-28

-x/7 = -4
The negatives cancel.
Then multiple 4 by 7 to find x.

x = 28
because:
-x/7 = -4
-x = -28
x = 28
