Simplify the expression without solving for x

8x + 4-3-x=

Answer: 7x + 1

Explanation:

First you need to organize each integer with the variable at its ending.

8x, - x both have the x variable

+4, - 3 both are regular integers

8x - x = 7x

4 - 3 = 1

So it's 7x - 1

8x+4-3-x=

8x-x=7x

4-3=1

7x+1
