2x - 7 = -4x - 1
First, add 4x to both sides
2x + 4x -7 = -1
Add like terms
6x -7 = -1
Add 7 to both sides
6x = 6
Divide both sides by 6
x = 1

2x -7= -4x -1
+4x +4x
6x -7= -1
+7 +7
6x=6
Then divide both sides by 6
x=1

2x - 7 = -4x - 1
2x - 7 + 4x = -4x - 1 + 4x --- Add 4x to both sides...
6x - 7 = -1
6x - 7 + 7 = -1 + 7 --- Add 7 to both sides...
6x = 6
(6x) / 6 = 6 / 6 --- Divide both sides by 6...
x = 1

Move all the variables to one side and the numbers at the other by inverse operations
6x=6
then divide both side by 6 to get the 'x' alone
6x/6=6/6
which gets you...
x=1
