The given expression is

14x - 14 > - 7x + 7

The first step is to add 7x to both sides of the inquality. it becomes

14x + 7x - 14 > - 7x + 7x + 7

21x - 14 > 7

The next step is to add 14 to both sides of the inequality. It becomes

21x - 14 + 14 > 7 + 14

21x > 21

Dividing both sides by 21, it becomes

21x/21 > 21/21

x > 1
