Question

-8x-27=-7\left(1+2x\right)+2x

Answer 1

`x=5`

Explanation:

`-8x-27=-7\left(1+2x\right)+2x`

Expand:

`-8x-27=-7* 1-7* 2x+2x`

`-8x-27=-7-12x`

Add 27 to both sides:

`-8x-27+27=-7-12x+27`

`-8x=-12x+20`

Add 12x to both sides:

`-8x+12x=-12x+20+12x`

`4x=20`

Divide both sides by 4:

`(4x)/(4)=(20)/(4)`

`x=5`
