16+7x=12x+1-7\left(x-\frac{1}{7}\right)
Cancel out 4 and 4.
16+7x=12x+1-7x-7\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by x-\frac{1}{7}.
16+7x=12x+1-7x+1
Multiply -7 times -\frac{1}{7}.
16+7x=5x+1+1
Combine 12x and -7x to get 5x.
16+7x=5x+2
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
16+7x-5x=2
