The answer is x=-2

First distribute 8 to what’s in the parentheses

3x-1=8x+8+1

Then combine like terms on both sides (in this case only the right side)

3x-1=8x+9

Then move the -1 to the right side (you add one and cancel it out on the left side and then add one to 9 on the right side)

3x=8x+10

Move the 8x to the left side by subtracting 8x and subtracting 8x to 3x

-5x=10

Divide -5 on both sides and it will cancel out the -5x and leave you with x and complete the problem (since 10 divided by -5 is -2 that’s your answer)

x=-2
