7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 7 ) ÷ 5 = -2

( <u>-3</u> - 7 ) ÷ 5 = -2

( -10 ) ÷ 5 = -2

-10 ÷ 5 = -2

<h2><em>The answer is -3</em></h2>

<em>The answer is negative 2 because if you minus negative 3 by 7 first, it will give you negative 10. When you divide negative 10 by 5, you get negative 2, which is the answer to the equation.</em>

<em>Hope this helps! <3</em>

Elanso [62]

It is always negative, because it keeps going down on the number line. Say it is negative 8 minus 5, it would be negative 13, because it adds to the negatives, so it would go deeper into the negatives.
