3(x-1)-2(2x+1)=8(x-1)
Use distributive property:
3x-3 -4x-2 = 8x-8
Combine like terms:
-x -5 = 8x -8
Add 8 to both sides:
-x +3 = 8x
Add x to both sides:
3 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 3/9
x = 1/3
Answer:
Explanation:
Distribute
3x -3 -4x-2 = 8x -8
Combine like terms
Add x to each side
-x-5+x = 8x-8+x
-5 = 9x-8
Add 8 to each side
-5+8 = 9x-8+8
Divide by 9
3/9 = 9x/8
1/3 =x
