➤ How to solve ?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's quite easy but you need to recall the BODMAS rule .
⠀⠀⠀⠀
BODMAS rule states the correct sequence to solve an equation . First we need to solve the bracket part then solve if any of is present moving further to division then multiplication carrying with addition atlast subtraction
⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this equation we will solve the bracket then we will apply further BODMAS rule

SolutiOn :
➠ 7x + 31 = 8x - 1 ( 27x + 3 ) -3
➠ 7x + 31 = 8x - 27x - 3 - 3
Now, we will bring the variable on left hand side and constants on right hand side
➠ 7x - 8x + 27x = - 31 - 3 - 3
➠ 26x = -37
➠ x = -37/ 26
➠ x = - 1.42
∴ The value of x is -1.42 .
