Answer:
the answer I got is negative 4
Answer:
8/21
I don't think that it can be simplified further....
5x means that 5 should be multiplied by the value of x
Every time a variable is touching a number it means it’s multiplying
5x + 8 = ?
If x = 9, you would multiply 5 and 9 which is 45. You then add 45 and 8
45 + 8 = 53
Therefore 5x + 8 = 53
Hope this helps you! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-7x + 6 = 27
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 6 on both sides: -7x = 21
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -7 on both sides: x = -3
