First, we move all the terms over to the left-hand side:
\displaystyle \frac{4x}{4x-7}-\frac{1}{2x-3}-1=0
Then, we multiply the top and bottom of all three terms by appropriate factors so that they have the same common denominator, in the following way,
\displaystyle \frac{4x}{4x-7}\centerdot \frac{2x-3}{2x-3}-\frac{1}{2x-3}\centerdot \frac{4x-7}{4x-7}-\frac{\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}{\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}=0
and so that we can rewrite the left-hand side giving
\displaystyle \frac{4x\left( 2x-3 \right)-\left( 4x-7 \right)-\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}{\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}=0
We expand the numerator
\displaystyle \frac{8x^{2}-12x-\left( 4x-7 \right)-\left( 8x^{2}-14x-12x+21 \right)}{\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}=0
and simplify
\displaystyle \frac{10x-14}{\left( 2x-3 \right)\left( 4x-7 \right)}=0
This equation is satisfied when the numerator is zero (provided the denominator is not also zero) and this happens when
\displaystyle 10x-14=0
which gives
\displaystyle x={7}/{5}\;.
It can easily happen that we calculate incorrectly, so we must check that the answer \displaystyle x={7}/{5}\; satisfies the equation:
\displaystyle \begin{align}
& \text{LHS }~~~=\text{ }~~~\frac{4\centerdot \frac{7}{5}}{4\centerdot \frac{7}{5}-7}-\frac{1}{2\centerdot \frac{7}{5}-3}\text{ }=\text{ }\left\{ \text{ multiply top and bottom by 5} \right\} \\
& \text{ }~~~ \\
& =~\frac{4\centerdot \frac{7}{5}}{4\centerdot \frac{7}{5}-7}\centerdot \frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{2\centerdot \frac{7}{5}-3}\centerdot \frac{5}{5}=\frac{4\centerdot 7}{4\centerdot 7-7\centerdot 5}-\frac{5}{2\centerdot 7-3\centerdot 5} \\
& \\
& =\frac{4}{4-5}-\frac{5}{14-15}=-4-\left( -5 \right)=1\text{ }~~~=\text{ RHS}~~~ \\
\end{align}
