solve y=f(x) for x. then find the inputs when the output is -3

Answer:
Given that,
[tex]f(x)=-7x-2[/tex]To find the inputs when the output is -3
that is, when f(x)=-3, to find the value of x
Put f(x)=-3 in the above equation we get,
[tex]-3=-7x-2[/tex][tex]-7x=-3+2[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} -7x=-1 \\ x=\frac{1}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer is: x=1/7.
