To subtract \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \), you can set up the expression as follows:

\[
(x - 7) - (4x - 3)
\]

Now, distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis:

\[
x - 7 - 4x + 3
\]

Next, combine like terms:

- Combine \( x \) and \( -4x \):
\[
x - 4x = -3x
\]

- Combine \( -7 \) and \( +3 \):
\[
-7 + 3 = -4
\]

Putting it all together, you get:

\[
-3x - 4
\]

Thus, the result of subtracting \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \) is:

\[
-3x - 4
\]

Yes, I am sure!

Let's recheck the subtraction step by step:

1. You want to subtract \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \). This can be written as:
\[
(x - 7) - (4x - 3)
\]

2. Distributing the negative sign through the parentheses:
\[
x - 7 - 4x + 3
\]

3. Now, combine like terms:
- The \( x \) and \( -4x \) terms:
\[
x - 4x = -3x
\]
- The constant terms \( -7 \) and \( +3 \):
\[
-7 + 3 = -4
\]

4. Putting it all together:
\[
-3x - 4
\]

Thus, the final answer is indeed:
\[
-3x - 4
\]
