Answer:

x =189

Explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

6x/27-(42)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

6x-42*27=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6x-1134=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

6x=1134

x=1134/6

x=189
