736x-\left(x+1\right)=24-2\left(3x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 8,4.
736x-x-1=24-2\left(3x-1\right)
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
735x-1=24-2\left(3x-1\right)
Combine 736x and -x to get 735x.
735x-1=24-6x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x-1.
735x-1=26-6x
Add 24 and 2 to get 26.
735x-1+6x=26
Add 6x to both sides.
741x-1=26
Combine 735x and 6x to get 741x.
741x=26+1
Add 1 to both sides.
741x=27
Add 26 and 1 to get 27.
x=\frac{27}{741}
Divide both sides by 741.
x=\frac{9}{247}
Reduce the fraction \frac{27}{741} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
