Question

$$5 x - 2 - x = 4 - 3 x - 27$$

Solve for x

$x=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $5x$ and $-x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x-2=4-3x-27$$

Subtract $27$ from $4$ to get $-23$.

$$4x-2=-23-3x$$

Add $3x$ to both sides.

$$4x-2+3x=-23$$

Combine $4x$ and $3x$ to get $7x$.

$$7x-2=-23$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$7x=-23+2$$

Add $-23$ and $2$ to get $-21$.

$$7x=-21$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{-21}{7}$$

Divide $-21$ by $7$ to get $-3$.

$$x=-3$$
