Combine like terms and move them to one side to make solving easier.
-8x -2x= -1-3
-10x= -4
10x=4
x=4/10
x=2/5
-8x -2x= -1-3
-10x= -4
10x=4
x=4/10
x=2/5
-8x + 3 - 2x = -1
Combine -8x and 2x
Don't forget that minus sign follows the 2 making it a negative.
-8x + -2x
Leaving you with...
-10x
Add the rest of the equation
-10x + 3 = -1
Now subtract 3 from -1
-10x + 3 = -1
-3 -3
Leaves you with
-10x = -4
Divide by -10x
-10x = -4
___ ___
-10 -10
This gets rid of your x and leaves you with -0.4
X= -0.4
