1-\left(3-6-\left(-x\right)\right)=3x-\left(8+x\right)
To find the opposite of 6-x, find the opposite of each term.
1-\left(3-6+x\right)=3x-\left(8+x\right)
The opposite of -x is x.
1-\left(-3+x\right)=3x-\left(8+x\right)
Subtract 6 from 3 to get -3.
1-\left(-3\right)-x=3x-\left(8+x\right)
To find the opposite of -3+x, find the opposite of each term.
1+3-x=3x-\left(8+x\right)
The opposite of -3 is 3.
4-x=3x-\left(8+x\right)
Add 1 and 3 to get 4.
4-x=3x-8-x
To find the opposite of 8+x, find the opposite of each term.
4-x=2x-8
Combine 3x and -x to get 2x.
4-x-2x=-8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4-3x=-8
Combine -x and -2x to get -3x.
-3x=-8-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-3x=-12
Subtract 4 from -8 to get -12.
x=\frac{-12}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=4
Divide -12 by -3 to get 4.
