Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply -2 to both sides of the equation:
-2 * (-1/2x) = -2 * -7
x = -2 * -7
x = 14
Note that when you multiply two negative numbers, the answer will be positive.
14 is your answer for x.
