Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12
