$x = - \frac{26}{7}$ $x=-26/7$

$- \frac{2}{7} x = - 4$ $-2/7x=-4$

$x = - 4 + \frac{2}{7}$ $x=-4+2/7$ $\Leftarrow$ $lArr$ Isolating for x

$x = \frac{(- 4) \cdot 7}{7} + \frac{2}{7}$ $x=((-4)*7)/7+2/7$ $\Leftarrow$ $lArr$ Find the LCD

$x = \frac{- 28 + 2}{7}$ $x=(-28+2)/7$

$x = - \frac{26}{7}$ $x=-26/7$
