Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us subtract 7 from both sides of the equation; this gives


7-3x-7=4-7
\Rightarrow-3x=4-7
\Rightarrow-3x=-3

Finally, dividing both sides by -3 gives


-(3x)/(-3)=-(3)/(-3)


\Rightarrow x=-(3)/(-3)
\boxed{x=1.}

Which is our answer!

Hence, the solution to the equation is x = 1.
