Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

Distribute the 3 to the 4x and -7v

it will be 12x - 21= 27

you then take the 21 and add it to the 27 to isolate the 12x

it will be 12x = 48

to seperate the 12 from the x you divide on both sides so x/12 and 48/ 12

this will give you x= 4

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Given

3(4x - 7) = 27 ( divide both sides by 3 )

4x - 7 = 9 ( add 7 to both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4
