Question 482832
First, we add x to both sides of the equation, so we can combine the two terms with 'x' in them.
-3+8x=-x
-3+8x+x=-x+x
-3+9x=0
Then, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation:
-3+9x+3=0+3
9x=3
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 9 to isolate the variable:
9x/9=3/9
x=1/3
So, x is equal to 1/3
