Interpret the right side as (−7a − 14)/−4 (the whole numerator divided by −4). Then
(−7a − 14)/−4 = (7a + 14)/4,

so
3a + 1 > (7a + 14)/4.

Multiply both sides by 4 (positive, so inequality stays the same):
12a + 4 > 7a + 14
5a > 10
a > 2.

(If you meant a different grouping of the terms on the right, tell me and I'll re-solve.)
