answer attempt 1 out of 2
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Add 7 to both sides

$-7 - 4x+7>1 + 7$
$-4x>8$

Step2: Divide both sides by - 4 and reverse the inequality sign

$\frac{-4x}{-4}<\frac{8}{-4}$
$x < - 2$

Answer:

<, $x < - 2$
On the number - line, there is an open circle at - 2 and the line extends to the left.
