x-4-\left(-2x\right)=7\left(x-1\right)
To find the opposite of 4-2x, find the opposite of each term.
x-4+2x=7\left(x-1\right)
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
3x-4=7\left(x-1\right)
Combine x and 2x to get 3x.
3x-4=7x-7
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x-1.
3x-4-7x=-7
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-4x-4=-7
Combine 3x and -7x to get -4x.
-4x=-7+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-4x=-3
Add -7 and 4 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{3}{4}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{3}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
