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

Given: 15/7 = -3x

To cancel out the coefficient of x (-3), divide both sides of the equation by -3:

(15/7) / (-3) = x

Now, simplify the left side:

15/7 * (-1/3) = x

Multiply the numerators and denominators:

-15/21 = x

The final solution is x = -15/21, which can be simplified to x = -5/7.
