Solving

27 + -6x = 99

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-27' to each side of the equation.

27 + -27 + -6x = 99 + -27

Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0

0 + -6x = 99 + -27

x = -12

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

27+6x=99

We want to get x alone

Subtract 27 from each side

6x = 72

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 =72/6

x = 12
