3x-4+4x=-\frac{1}{2}-x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 1-x.
7x-4=-\frac{1}{2}-x
Combine 3x and 4x to get 7x.
7x-4+x=-\frac{1}{2}
Add x to both sides.
8x-4=-\frac{1}{2}
Combine 7x and x to get 8x.
8x=-\frac{1}{2}+4
Add 4 to both sides.
8x=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{8}{2}
Convert 4 to fraction \frac{8}{2}.
8x=\frac{-1+8}{2}
Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{8}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
8x=\frac{7}{2}
Add -1 and 8 to get 7.
x=\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{7}{2\times 8}
Express \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{8} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{7}{16}
Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.
