First distribute
7(x+4)=49
7x+28=49

Subtract 28
7x+28=49
7x+28-28=49-28

Simply
7x=21

Divide
7x=21➗7

Simply
x=3

Solution
x=3

x=3 is the answer
Solution- Divide both the sides by 7 and that will get you x+4=7 next move the constant to the right hand side and change the sign so it will be x=7-4 and then you just subtract the numbers and it will equal 3 so x=3 Is Your Answer
