3\left(7x-1\right)+4\left(2x+\frac{1-x}{2}\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3,2.
21x-3+4\left(2x+\frac{1-x}{2}\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 7x-1.
21x-3+8x+4\times \frac{1-x}{2}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+\frac{1-x}{2}.
21x-3+8x+2\left(1-x\right)=0
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 4 and 2.
21x-3+8x+2-2x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-x.
21x-3+6x+2=0
Combine 8x and -2x to get 6x.
27x-3+2=0
Combine 21x and 6x to get 27x.
27x-1=0
