Answer: The answer is 7(x - 1).

Explanation:

So far, we know that the givens are:

7 times the difference of a number and 1

We just need to understand what it says:

7 times ( difference of a number and 1)

So "the number" can be any number, but you have to replace it with a variable such as n, s, x, etc. And by the way, difference is from subtraction, the result of the subtraction of 1 from the unknown number. Using this, we get:

7(x - 1)

Hence the answer!
