-13\left(x-4\right)=14\left(3x-1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 13\left(3x-1\right), the least common multiple of -3x+1,13.
-13x+52=14\left(3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -13 by x-4.
-13x+52=42x-14
Use the distributive property to multiply 14 by 3x-1.
-13x+52-42x=-14
Subtract 42x from both sides.
-55x+52=-14
Combine -13x and -42x to get -55x.
-55x=-14-52
Subtract 52 from both sides.
-55x=-66
Subtract 52 from -14 to get -66.
x=\frac{-66}{-55}
Divide both sides by -55.
x=\frac{6}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-66}{-55} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -11.
