Let's simplify the equation step by step.
1/2 (x-1) + 1/14 = -2/7 (3-x)
1/2 x - 1/2 + 1/14 = -6/7 + 2/7 x
Multiplying by 14 to get rid of the fractions:
7 x - 7 + 1 = -12 + 4 x
7 x - 6 = -12 + 4 x
Rearranging the terms:
7x - 4x = -6 - 12
3x = -18
Dividing by 3:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.
