Answer:

The first thing that we have to do is add 33 to both sides to try to reduce the amount of variables on the left hand side.


(x)/(6) - 33 = -27


(x)/(6) - 33 + 33 = -27 + 33


(x)/(6) = 6

Now that we have simplified the left hand side even more we only have one part left to get x by itself which is to multiply both sides by 6.


(x)/(6) = 6


(x)/(6) * 6 = 6 * 6


x = 36

Therefore, our final answer for what the value of x equals is 36.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions
