expr%283%2F7%29%282p-14%29%22%22%3E%22%22expr%286%2F7%29p-6

Multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fractions:

red%287%29%2Aexpr%283%2F7%29%282p-14%29%22%22%3E%22%22red%287%29expr%286%2F7%29p-red%287%29%2A6

red%28cross%287%29%29%2Aexpr%283%2Fcross%287%29%29%282p-14%29%22%22%3E%22%22red%28cross%287%29%29expr%286%2Fcross%287%29%29p-red%287%29%2A6

3%282p-14%29%22%22%3E%22%226p-42

6p-42%22%22%3E%22%226p-42

Both sides are the same.  No number is greater
than itself, so there can be no solution.

The solution set is an empty number line with
nothing circled or shaded:

--------------------------------
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5
