Sagot :

Answer:

  • x = -7/4

Step-by-step Solution:

Let's simplify the equation to find the value of x.

  • -2(6x - 3) = 27

[Simplify the Distributive property]

  • => -12x + 6 = 27

[Subtract 6 both sides]

  • => -12x = 27 - 6

[Solve the RHS]

  • => -12x = 21

[Divide -12 both sides to isolate the variable]

  • => x = -21/12

[Simplify the fraction]

  • => x = -7/4

Hence, the value of x is -7/4.

Answer:

x = -1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(6x - 3) = 27

distribute the -2

-2 * 6x = -12x

-2 * -3 = 6

-12x + 6 = 27

subtract 6 from both sides

-12x = 21

divide both sides by -12

-12x/-12 = x

21/-12 = -1.75

we're left with x = -1.75
