\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{7}{4}+6x=-\frac{5}{3}
Add 6x to both sides.
\frac{31}{4}x-\frac{7}{4}=-\frac{5}{3}
Combine \frac{7}{4}x and 6x to get \frac{31}{4}x.
\frac{31}{4}x=-\frac{5}{3}+\frac{7}{4}
Add \frac{7}{4} to both sides.
\frac{31}{4}x=-\frac{20}{12}+\frac{21}{12}
Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert -\frac{5}{3} and \frac{7}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.
\frac{31}{4}x=\frac{-20+21}{12}
Since -\frac{20}{12} and \frac{21}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{31}{4}x=\frac{1}{12}
Add -20 and 21 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{12}\times \frac{4}{31}
Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{31}, the reciprocal of \frac{31}{4}.
x=\frac{1\times 4}{12\times 31}
Multiply \frac{1}{12} times \frac{4}{31} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{4}{372}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 4}{12\times 31}.
x=\frac{1}{93}
Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{372} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
