Question

solve for x.
$\frac{5x - 27}{-3} = -6$
simplify your answer as much as possible.
$x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -3

$$\frac{5x-27}{-3} \times (-3) = -6 \times (-3)$$
$$5x - 27 = 18$$

Step2: Add 27 to both sides

$$5x - 27 + 27 = 18 + 27$$
$$5x = 45$$

Step3: Divide by 5 on both sides

$$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{45}{5}$$
$$x = 9$$

Answer:

$x = 9$
