$$27-320-25x=x$$

$x = -\frac{293}{26} = -11\frac{7}{26} \approx -11.269230769$

Subtract $320$ from $27$ to get $-293$.

$$-293-25x=x$$

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$-293-25x-x=0$$

Combine $-25x$ and $-x$ to get $-26x$.

$$-293-26x=0$$

Add $293$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-26x=293$$

Divide both sides by $-26$.

$$x=\frac{293}{-26}$$

Fraction $\frac{293}{-26}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{293}{26}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{293}{26}$$
