Let's distribute!

(3x - 3) - (4x + 2) = 8x - 8 Combine like terms

(-x) - 5 = 8x - 8

8-5 = 8x + x

3 = 9x

3/9 = x

1/3 = x

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-1)-2(2x+1)=8(x-1)

3x-3-4x-2=8x-8

3x-4x-3-2=8x-8

-x-5=8x-8

-x-8x-5=-8

-9x-5=-8

-9x=-8+5

-9x=-3

9x=3

x=3/9

simplify

x=1/3
