Answer:

For this exercise we need to solve the next equation:

3 +6x = 2x + 27

We can start substracting 3 at both sides:

3 + 6x - 2 = 2x + 27 - 3

6x = 2x + 25

And then, we can substract 2x::

6x - 2x = 2x + 24 - 2x

4x = 25

Then, we divide by 4:

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 24/4 = 6

Now, we can see if we have done it correctly:

3 + 6*6 = 39

2 * 6 + 27 = 39

And we have seen our result is correct
