Question

27
both sides :add what to both sides?
$6x - 3 + \square = -27 + \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the term to eliminate

To isolate the term with \( x \), we need to eliminate the \(-3\) on the left side. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we add \( 3 \) to both sides.

Step2: Apply to both sides

So we add \( 3 \) to the left side (\( 6x - 3 + 3 \)) and also add \( 3 \) to the right side (\( -27 + 3 \)).

Answer:

The number to add to both sides is \( 3 \), so we fill in \( 3 \) in both boxes. Thus, \( 6x - 3 + \boldsymbol{3} = -27 + \boldsymbol{3} \).
