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

First, let's get rid of the fraction on the right side by multiplying both sides of the equation by 18:

18(x - 2/9) = -7

Now, distribute the 18 on the left side:

18x - 4 = -7

Next, add 4 to both sides to isolate the x term:

18x = -3

Finally, divide by 18 to solve for x:

x = -3/18
x = -1/6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -1/6.
