Answer:

x=-(17)/(28)

Explanation:

(1)/(4)(4x-1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)

x-(1)/(4)=-(6)/(7)

x = -(6)/(7) + (1)/(4)

x = -(17)/(28)

plug
in the equation to make sure of your answer:

$(1)/(4)(4x-1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)\\(1)/(4)(4(-(17)/(28)) -1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)\\-(17)/(28) -(1)/(4)=-(6)/(7)\\-(6)/(7)=-(6)/(7)$
