You can't. You need 2 equations to solve for 2 unknowns
Divide both sides by -6, giving x = 14/-6 ie -7/3 or "-2 and one-third"

To solve the equation "two thirds times what equals one," you can represent it mathematically as (\frac{2}{3} x = 1). To isolate (x), multiply both sides by the reciprocal of (\frac{2}{3}), which is (\frac{3}{2}). This gives you (x = 1 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2}). Therefore, (x = 1.5).

You can't solve it - you only have one equation and two unknowns. You need 2 equations to solve this.
2/3
Divide both sides by -6, giving x = 14/-6 ie -7/3 or "-2 and one-third"
One third plus one third equals two thirds. Similarly, one cow plus one cow equals two cows, and one book plus one book equals two books. Have you learned anything today ?
1 1/3 + 1 1/3 = 2 2/3
