To find the number that should be added to both sides of the equation, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. In this case, you want x to be positive on its own on one side of the equation.
To do this, you can add 7 to both sides of the equation:
x - 7 + 7 = 1 + 7
This simplifies to:
x = 8
So the number that should be added to both sides of the equation is 7.
