To solve this equation, we need to simplify both sides by combining like terms and then isolate the variable x.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
1 - (7x + 1 - 1 - 7x + 3) = 2x - 81 - (7x + 3) = 2x - 81 - 7x - 3 = 2x - 8-7x - 2 = 2x - 8-2 = 9x - 8
Now, add 2 to both sides:
-2 + 2 = 9x - 8 + 20 = 9x - 6
Finally, add 6 to both sides:
0 + 6 = 9x - 6 + 66 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:
x = 6/9x = 2/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2/3.
To solve this equation, we need to simplify both sides by combining like terms and then isolate the variable x.

1 - (7x + 3) = 2x - 8
1 - 7x - 3 = 2x - 8
-7x - 2 = 2x - 8
-2 = 9x - 8
Now, add 2 to both sides:
-2 + 2 = 9x - 8 + 2
0 = 9x - 6
Finally, add 6 to both sides:
0 + 6 = 9x - 6 + 6
6 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:
x = 6/9
x = 2/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2/3.
