To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation -7x + 40 = -37, we can first subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term:

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

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -7 to solve for x:

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

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11.
