3\left(7x+6\right)=4\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 6\left(2x+1\right), the least common multiple of 4x+2,3.
21x+18=4\left(2x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 7x+6.
21x+18=8x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+1.
21x+18-8x=4
Subtract 8x from both sides.
13x+18=4
Combine 21x and -8x to get 13x.
13x=4-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
13x=-14
Subtract 18 from 4 to get -14.
x=\frac{-14}{13}
Divide both sides by 13.
x=-\frac{14}{13}
Fraction \frac{-14}{13} can be rewritten as -\frac{14}{13} by extracting the negative sign.
