  14        
----- = -7/9
x + 3       
$$\frac{14}{x + 3} = - \frac{7}{9}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{14}{x + 3} = - \frac{7}{9}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 14

b1 = 3 + x

a2 = 1

b2 = -9/7

so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-9\right) 14}{7} = x + 3$$
$$-18 = x + 3$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 21$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 21$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 21 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = -21
