Answer: [tex]x=\Large\boxed{-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

[tex]4(x+1)-(2x-4)=7[/tex]

Expand the parenthesis and apply the distributive property

[tex]4\times x+4\times1-2x+4=6[/tex]

[tex]4x+4-2x+4=6[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex]4x-2x+4+4=6[/tex]

[tex]2x+8=6[/tex]

Subtract 8 on both sides

[tex]2x+8-8=6-8[/tex]

[tex]2x=-2[/tex]

Divide 2 on both sides

[tex]2x\div2=-2\div2[/tex]

[tex]x=\Large\boxed{-1}[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)
