[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation -7x + 40 = -37, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:

-7x + 40 - 40 = -37 - 40
-7x = -77

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -7:

-7x / -7 = -77 / -7
x = 11

Therefore, the solution to the equation -7x + 40 = -37 is x = 11.
