-0.1 + 8x + -1x = -0.3 + 1x + -1x

Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x
-0.1 + 7x = -0.3 + 1x + -1x

Combine like terms: 1x + -1x = 0
-0.1 + 7x = -0.3 + 0
-0.1 + 7x = -0.3

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.1 + 7x = -0.3 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 7x = -0.3 + 0.1
7x = -0.3 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.1 = -0.2
7x = -0.2

Divide each side by '7'.
