    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

    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
