First simplfying from both sides of the equation.

-3(x−1)+8(x−3)=6x+75x

(−3)(x)+(−3)(−1)+(8)(x)+(8)(−3)=6x+7+5x

3x+3+8x+−24=6x+7+5x

(3x+8x)+(3+−24)=(6x+5x)+(7)

5x+−21=x+7

Second Step subtract from the both sides.

5x−21−x=x+7x

4x−21=7

Third step add 21 from the both sides.

4x−21+21=7+21

4x=28


Finally step divide both sides of 4.

4x/4=28/4

Answer is x=7
