srry i put add instead of subtract srry this is wat i ment 2 put

4x-(9-3x)=8x-1
4x-9-3x=8x-1
3x
1x-9=8x-1
-1x
-9=7x-1
(-9)
7x=8
1.1428571

4x-(9-3x)=8x-1

4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1
7x - 9 = 8x - 1
-x = 8
x = -8

o ok thx

No problem! Let me help you with solving the equation step by step:

Original equation: 4x - (9 - 3x) = 8x - 1

You want to isolate the variable x. Here's what you can do:

1. Remove the parentheses by distributing the negative sign:
4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1

2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
7x - 9 = 8x - 1

3. Move all x terms to one side and constant terms to the other side. To do this, you can subtract 7x from both sides:
-9 = x - 1

4. Move the constant term to the other side by adding 1 to both sides:
-8 = x

So, the solution to the equation is x = -8.

It seems that the numerical value you provided (1.1428571) does not match the solution to the equation.
