Answer:


\large\boxed{x=(127)/(11)}

Explanation:


3x+27=12+14x-112\\\\3x+27=14x+(12-112)\\\\3x+27=14x-100\qquad\text{subtract 27 from both sides}\\\\3x+27-27=14x-100-27\\\\3x=14x-127\qquad\text{subtract }\ 14x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\3x-14x=12x-12x-127\\\\-11x=-127\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-11)}\\\\(-11x)/(-11)=(-127)/(-11)\\\\x=(127)/(11)
