Solve: -1/3 (7x - 1) = 1/4

An equation is a mathematical statement with an 'equal to' symbol between two algebraic expressions that have equal values.

Answer: The value of x in -1/3 (7x - 1) = 1/4 is 1/28.

Let's solve the equation for x.

Explanation:

-1/3 (7x - 1) = 1/4

By taking 3 to the RHS, we get,

-(7x-1)= 3/4

-7x+1=3/4

7x = 1 - 3/4

7x = 1/4

x= 1/28

Thus, the value of x in -1/3 (7x - 1) = 1/4 is 1/28.
