 -  5  =  -7  .
____________________________________________
This would be one way to write the expresion/equation; in which "x" represents the unknown number.

Now, to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________
Given:
____________________________________________
 -  5  =  -7  ;

Add "5" to EACH SIDE of the equation:
_____________________________________________
 -  5  + 5 =  -7  + 5 ;

to get:

 = -2 ;

x = (-2 * 3) ;
_________________________________
x =  - 6 .
