[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for the value of x in the equation -7x = 14, both sides of the equation should be divided by -7.

When we divide -7x by -7, the -7 on the left side of the equation cancels out, leaving only x. Thus, the equation becomes:

x = 14 / -7

x = -2

Therefore, the value of x is -2.
