8x-2x-1=3x-13
To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
6x-1=3x-13
Combine 8x and -2x to get 6x.
6x-1-3x=-13
Subtract 3x from both sides.
3x-1=-13
Combine 6x and -3x to get 3x.
3x=-13+1
Add 1 to both sides.
3x=-12
Add -13 and 1 to get -12.
x=\frac{-12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-4
Divide -12 by 3 to get -4.
