112\left(-2-3x\right)=-93\left(2x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 112\left(2x+1\right), the least common multiple of 1+2x,112.
-224-336x=-93\left(2x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 112 by -2-3x.
-224-336x=-186x-93
Use the distributive property to multiply -93 by 2x+1.
-224-336x+186x=-93
Add 186x to both sides.
-224-150x=-93
Combine -336x and 186x to get -150x.
-150x=-93+224
Add 224 to both sides.
-150x=131
Add -93 and 224 to get 131.
x=\frac{131}{-150}
Divide both sides by -150.
x=-\frac{131}{150}
Fraction \frac{131}{-150} can be rewritten as -\frac{131}{150} by extracting the negative sign.
