Question 342981


{{{3x-1=7-1(8+3x)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x-1=7-8-3x}}} Distribute.



{{{3x-1=-3x-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{3x=-3x-1+1}}} Add {{{1}}} to both sides.



{{{3x+3x=-1+1}}} Add {{{3x}}} to both sides.



{{{6x=-1+1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=0}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(0)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=0}}} Reduce.
