Steps to solve:

7x - 27 = 3x - 5 + x - 1

~Combine like terms

7x - 27 = 4x - 6

~Add 27 to both sides

7x = 4x + 21

~Subtract 4x to both sides

3x = 21

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = 7

Best of Luck!

Answer:


x=7

Explanation:

So we have the equation:


7x-27=3x-5+x-1

Combine like terms:


7x-27=4x-6

Subtract 4x from both sides:


3x-27=-6

Add 27 to both sides:


3x=21

Divide both sides by 3:


x=7

So, the value of x is 7.

And we're done!
