\frac{1}{2}x-2-7x=-3
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-\frac{13}{2}x-2=-3
Combine \frac{1}{2}x and -7x to get -\frac{13}{2}x.
-\frac{13}{2}x=-3+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-\frac{13}{2}x=-1
Add -3 and 2 to get -1.
x=-\left(-\frac{2}{13}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{2}{13}, the reciprocal of -\frac{13}{2}.
x=\frac{2}{13}
Multiply -1 and -\frac{2}{13} to get \frac{2}{13}.
