There is a simple rule to follow
2 negitives = a positive
2 positives = a positive
1 negitive and 1 positive = a negitive
so you have 2 negitives meaning its positive or a plus/addition sign
so its really -7 + 1
so its easy to create a number line if you dont know how to do it in ur head
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
so u are at -7
*
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
the +1 means move on space to the right/or towards the positive side
+1
*----*
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
so your answer is -6
i hope this helped

Subtracting a negative 1 is the same as adding a positive 1.
-7 + 1 = -6

The two negative signs in front of the one makes it positive:
-7+1= -6

- 7 - (- 1)
There is an implied 1 to the left of the left parenthesis
- 1(- 1)
And - 1(- 1) = + 1
- 7 + 1 = - 6
