Answer:

X= -10 | Hope this helped! :')

Steps for answer!

1. Divide both sides by -2.

x+27=-34/-2

2. Two negatives make a positive.

x+27=34/2

3. Simplify 34/2 to 17.

x+27=17

4. Subtract 27 from both sides.

x=17-27

5. Simplify 17-27 to -10.

x=-10

---------------------

Checking answer:

−2(x+27)=−34

1. Let x=−10.

−2×(−10+27)=−34

2. Simplify -10+27 to 17.

−2×17=−34

3. Simplify -2 x 17 to -34.

-34=-34
