Answer:

To solve for x, bring the variable to one side, and bring all the remaining values to the other side by applying arithmetic operations on both sides of the equation. Simplify the values to find the result.
Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
12 + 2x + 24 = 27 + x
(12 + 24) + 2x = 27 + x
36 + 2x = 27 + x
subtract 27 from both sides
36-27 + 2x = 27-27 + x
9 + 2x = x
subtract x from both sides
9 + x = 0
subtract 9 from both sides
x = -9
(the steps could've been faster but that shows the most work)
check:
12 + 2(-9) + 24 = 27 + (-9)
36 - 18 = 18
18 = 18
True!
so -9 is correct
