<h3>〠 Answer : 〠</h3>

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf \dfrac{x - 2}{3} = \dfrac{-7}{18} \\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf (x - 2) \times 18= -7 \times 3 \\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf 18x - 36 = -21 \\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf 18x = -21 + 36\\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf 18x = 15\\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf x = \dfrac{15}{18} \\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf x = \dfrac{5}{6} \\ \\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \underline{ \boxed{\textsf{\textbf{x $\approx$ 0.84}}}}\\ \\ \\$

Answer:

x = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply.

18(x - 2) = 3(-7)

Divide both sides by 3.

6(x - 2) = -7

Distribute the 6.

6x - 12 = -7

Add 12 to both sides.

6x = 5

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 5/6

Answer: x = 5/6
