Answer:
its 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
8 = 3x + -1
Reorder the terms:
8 = -1 + 3x
Solving
8 = -1 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
8 + -3x = -1 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
8 + -3x = -1 + 0
8 + -3x = -1
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3x = -1 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3x = -1 + -8
-3x = -1 + -8
Combine like terms: -1 + -8 = -9
-3x = -9
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 3
Simplifying
