To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
3x+8-1=3\left(2x-3\right)
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x+7=3\left(2x-3\right)
Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7.
3x+7=6x-9
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-3.
3x+7-6x=-9
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-3x+7=-9
Combine 3x and -6x to get -3x.
-3x=-9-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-3x=-16
