\left(\frac{7}{2}x+x\right)\times 3=14x-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
\frac{9}{2}x\times 3=14x-4
Combine \frac{7}{2}x and x to get \frac{9}{2}x.
\frac{9\times 3}{2}x=14x-4
Express \frac{9}{2}\times 3 as a single fraction.
\frac{27}{2}x=14x-4
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
\frac{27}{2}x-14x=-4
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-\frac{1}{2}x=-4
Combine \frac{27}{2}x and -14x to get -\frac{1}{2}x.
x=-4\left(-2\right)
Multiply both sides by -2, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.
x=8
Multiply -4 and -2 to get 8.
