Combine like terms on each side of the equation...

8x+1=7x+22 subtract 1 from both sides

8x=7x+21 subtract 7x from both sides

x=21

3x + 1 + 5x = 7 +15 + 7x

Move unknown terms to the left of the equal with changed sign and the known terms to the right of the equal with changed sign.

3x + 5x - 7x = 7 + 15 - 1

x = 21

3x + 1 + 5x = 7 +15 + 7x
