Lets try and write it down mathematically:

-4x-7 > 1

Lets put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change sides, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.

-4x > 1+7

-4x > 8

Divide both sides with -4.

-4x/-4 > 8/-4

Since we are dividing both sides with a negative number, the sign will change from > into <.

x < -2
