8x-\left(3-x\right)=24
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
8x-3-\left(-x\right)=24
To find the opposite of 3-x, find the opposite of each term.
8x-3+x=24
The opposite of -x is x.
9x-3=24
Combine 8x and x to get 9x.
9x=24+3
Add 3 to both sides.
9x=27
Add 24 and 3 to get 27.
x=\frac{27}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=3
Divide 27 by 9 to get 3.
