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:
\[ -3x - 4 \]
