Answer:

27 - 50k

Simplify

1. Distribute

-5 ( 1 + 2k ) - 8 ( -4 + 5k )

-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )

2. Distribute

-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )

-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k

3. Add the numbers

-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k

27 - 10k - 40k

4. Add the same term to both sides of the equation

27 - 10k - 40k

27 - 50k

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=1\ \vee\ x=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{2x}-4\cdot3^{x+1}+27=0\\\\\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\ \text{and}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-4\cdot3^x\cdot3^1+27=0\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-12\cdot3^x+27=0\\\\\text{substitute}\ 3^x=t>0\\\\t^2-12t+27=0\\\\t^2-3t-9t+27=0\\\\t(t-3)-9(t-3)=0\\\\(t-3)(t-9)+0\iff t-3=0\ \vee\ t-9=0\\\\t-3=0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=3}\\\\t-9=0\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=9}$
