7 + -2(2 + 3x) = 27
7 + (2 * -2 + 3x * -2) = 27
7 + (-4 + -6x) = 27
Combine like terms: 7 + -4 = 3
3 + -6x = 27
Solving
3 + -6x = 27
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -6x = 27 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -6x = 27 + -3
-6x = 27 + -3
Combine like terms: 27 + -3 = 24
-6x = 24
Divide each side by '-6'.
x = -4

BD = AC/2
4x+2 = (5x+13)/2
2(4x+2) = 5x+13
8x + 4 = 5x+13
8x - 5x = 13 -4
3x = 9
x = 3
