How do you do 4x+27=3x??

You want one side of the equation to be variables only, and one side to be integers only. Therefore, subtract 4x from both sides. The equation is now 27 = -1x. Because we are solving for x, not -1x, multiply both sides by -1. Therefore, x = -27.
Hope that helped you.

4x + 27 = 3x

First, take away '4x' from both sides.

27 = 3x - 4x
Second, subtract '3x - 4x' to get '-x'.

27 = -x
Third, multiply both sides by '-1'.

-27 = x
Fourth, switch your sides.

x = -27

Answer: x = -27
