What is the solution to the equation?

3X - 1 = 8

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-1=8

+1

3x=9

/3

x=3

x = 3

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

3*x-1 - (8) = 0

Pull out like factors:

3x - 9 = 3 • (x - 3)

Add 3 to both sides of the equation:

x = 3
