7x – 7 > 3x – 8

Subtract 3x from each side:
7x-3x-7>3x-3x-8
4x-7>-8

Add +7 to each side:
4x-7+7>-8+7
4x>-1

Divide both sides by 4:
x>-1/4

Locate the number -1/4 on the numberline with an open circle (or an open parentheses, whichever notation your teacher uses!), and shade everything to the right of this point.
