-4*(x - 1)    
---------- = 2
    7         
$$- \frac{4 \left(x - 1\right)}{7} = 2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4/7*(x-1) = 2

Expand brackets in the left part
-4/7*x+4/7*1 = 2

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- \frac{4 x}{7} = \frac{10}{7}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4/7
x = 10/7 / (-4/7)

We get the answer: x = -5/2
