Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
We first are going to flip the equation around.
So instead of 9 times x = -36 we'll do 36/9. 36/9 = -7.
Also you will kind of know it will be a negative number from the beginning since it's -36.
I don't know if that last part makes any sense, but I hope this helps you!
