-3x-\left(-1\right)=3x-2
To find the opposite of 3x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-3x+1=3x-2
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-3x+1-3x=-2
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-6x+1=-2
Combine -3x and -3x to get -6x.
-6x=-2-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-6x=-3
Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-3}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.
