You just need to move things from one side of the equation to the other. I would start by adding 7x to both sides of the question, which results in:
4 = 1 + x
I would then subtract one from both sides, which results in:
3 = x
As such, x = 3, which is the answer.

The first and third person are correct. Why?
4-7x=1-6x (as the second person said, move the integers to one side and the whole numbers to the other)
6x-7x=1-4
-1x=-3 (divide both sides by -1)
x=3

4 - 7x = 1 - 6x (Add 6x to both sides and subtract 4 from both sides)
-x = -3 (Divide both sides by -1)
x = 3
Check:
4 - 7(3) = 1 - 6(3)
4 - 21 = 1 - 18
-17 = -17

4-7x=1-6x add 7x to both sides
4=1+x solve for x
x=3

Get the x's on one side of the equation and the integers on the other side to solve.
Step 1: Add 6x to each side, to get:
4 - x = 1
Step 2: Subtract 4 from each side, to get:
-x = -3
Step 3: Multiply both sides by -1, to get:
x = 3

4-7x = 1-6x
-4 +6x
-x =-3
/-1 /-1
x = 3
sry its not lining up....
