Question

-8x-27=-7\left(1+2x\right)+2x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-8x-27=-7\left(1+2x\right)+2x$

Expand:

$-8x-27=-7\times 1-7\times 2x+2x$

$-8x-27=-7-12x$

Add 27 to both sides:

$-8x-27+27=-7-12x+27$

$-8x=-12x+20$

Add 12x to both sides:

$-8x+12x=-12x+20+12x$

$4x=20$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}$

$x=5$
