24-3x=-27
-3x=-27-24(24 in right side will-24)
-3x=-51
(- on both side will cut and become + as - -=+)
3x=51
x=51/3
x=17
Thanks

Answer,

X = 17

Explanation,

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

24 − 3x = −27

24 + −3x = −27

−3x + 24 = −27

Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x + 24 − 24 = −27 − 24

−3x = −51

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

-3x/-3 = -51/-3

X = 17


Hope this helps :-)
