1. Multiply both sides by 4x-1 [tex] \frac{1}{7} (4x-1)=3[/tex] 2.Simplify [tex] \frac{1}{7} (4x-1) to \frac{4x1}{7}
[/tex] [tex] \frac{4x-1}{7} =3[/tex] 3.Multiply both sides by 7 4x-1=3x7 4.Simplify 3*7 to 21 4x-1=21 5. Add one to both sides 4x=21+1 6. Simplify 21+1 to 22 4x=22 7.Divide both sides by 4 x=[tex] \frac{22}{4} [/tex] 8.Simplify [tex] \frac{22}{4} [/tex] to [tex] \frac{11}{2} [/tex]
