If you would like to solve the equation 4 x - (9 - 3 x) = 8 x - 1, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4 x - (9 - 3 x) = 8 x - 1
4 x - 9 + 3 x = 8 x - 1
4 x + 3 x - 8 x = -1 + 9
-1 * x = 8    /(-1)
x = -8

The result you are looking for is -8.

Remove the parenthesis
4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1

Simplify like terms
7x - 9 = 8x - 1

Add 1 on both sides
7x - 8 = 8x

Subtract 7x on both sides
-8 = x

Your answer is x = -8
