8x-2x+x+1=24x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
6x+x+1=24x
Combine 8x and -2x to get 6x.
7x+1=24x
Combine 6x and x to get 7x.
7x+1-24x=0
Subtract 24x from both sides.
-17x+1=0
Combine 7x and -24x to get -17x.
-17x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-1}{-17}
Divide both sides by -17.
x=\frac{1}{17}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{1}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
