Question

What is the value of x? 27(x+4)=−6 −35 −25 25 35

Answer 1

x = -38/9 !!!

27(x+4)=−6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

27(x+4)=−6

(27)(x)+(27)(4)=−6 (Distribute)

27x+108=−6

Step 2: Subtract 108 from both sides.

27x+108−108=−6−108

27x=−114

Step 3: Divide both sides by 27.

27x/27=−114/27

x=−389
