Question

Step by step 24-3x=-27

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

$24-3x = -27$

To solve we follow the steps below:

We subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

$-3x = -27-24\\-3x = -51$

We divide between -3 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {-51} {- 3}\\x = 17$

The value of x is 17

Answer:

$x = 17$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{x=17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract by 24 from both sides.

$24-3x-24=-27-24$

Simplify

$-27-24=-51$

$-3x=-51$

Divide by -3 from both sides.

$\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-51}{-3}$

Simplify to find the answer.

$-51\div-3=17$

$x=17$, is the correct answer.
