Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies directly as x:

$\therefore \: y = kx..(1) \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\ at \: y = 21 \: and \: x = 7 \\ 21 = k \times 7 \\ k = \frac{21}{7} = 3 \\ plugging \: k = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ y = 3x..(2) \\ plugging \: \: y = - 5 \: in \: (2)\\ - 5 = 3x \\ x = \frac{ - 5}{3} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \huge \red{ \boxed{x = - \frac{5}{3} }}$

Solve for x <br> 7x-0.15=2x+0.6<br> Explain

If you subtract 2x from each side you get 5x-0.15=0.6 because the subtraction of 2x on the right of the equal sign cancels out. Then, if you add 0.15 to both sides you will get 5x=0.75. Finally, if you divide both sides by 5 you get x = 0.15.
