Answer 1

Answer:

x =-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

-3x - 21 = 27

We are to find the next step in solving the equation

Step 1: Add 21 to both sides

-3x - 21 + 21 = 27 + 21

-3x = 48

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3

-3x/3 = 48/3

-x = 16

x = -16

Hence the value of x is -16
