Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x

Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7

Seperate the 8x from the other numbers

8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6

8x = 6

Now simplify

x = [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex]  <----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2

Hence,

x =  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
