Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -3 for x and for 5

-3x-15=27

When you have this type of equation the first thing you do is take off the parentesis

Then you pass the 15 to the other side and you get -3x= 27 +15 . After that you divide that for -3 and you get the x . In this case x= -14

Sorry if the english is bad, i hope this helps

Answer:

6x = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a rectangle is $A = LxW$ . Since we have a value for the width, we simply need to find what to multiply to 6 to get 42.

Let x = length

6x = 42

We then divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x.

$\dfrac{6x}{6}=\dfrac{42}{6}$

$x=7$

So we know the length is 7.

To check the answer we substitute x with 7.

$6(7)=42$

$42=42$
