We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
1/7=3/4x-1

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
-4x=-1-0.14285714285714

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-4x=-1.1428571428571

We divide both sides of the equation by -04 to get x.
x=0.28571428571428

hope this helpd

X= 32/21     In simplest form this would be 11/21. I hope this helped.
