Answer:


\Huge \boxed{x=-3}

Explanation:


1-2x= -1+8+8x-8x

Combining like terms.


1-2x= 7

Subtracting 1 from both sides.


-2x= 7-1


-2x=6

Dividing both sides by -2.


x=-3

Answer:
x=-3

Simplify both sides of the equation


1+-2x=-1+8+8x+-8x


-2x+1=(8x+-8x)+(-1+8) (Combine Like Terms)


-2x+1=7

Subtract 1 from both sides


-2x+1-1=7-1\\-2x=6

Divide both sides by -2


-2x/-2=6/-2\\x=-3
