You have 22+3x/3x+7=2. That 3x/3x raises eyebrows; is this what you meant, with the result that 3x/3x = 1? or did you mean

3x

22 + ------------- + 7 = 2?

3x+7

If you meant the latter, then simplify the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides:

3x

27 + ---------- = 0

3x+7

Multiply all three terms by (3x+7), obtaining

27(3x+7) + 3x = 0

Then 21x + 3x + 189 = 0, so that 24x = -189, or x = -189/24 = -7 7/8
