Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

Formulate and substitute:d=4v

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: 4x=27-7

Calculate the sum or difference: 4x=20

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x=20÷4

Calculate the product or quotient: x=5

So the Answer is: x=5
