Question

$$-27-12=5 \times (-x)$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{39}{5} = 7\frac{4}{5} = 7.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $12$ from $-27$ to get $-39$.

$$-39=5\left(-x\right)$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$5\left(-x\right)=-39$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$-x=-\frac{39}{5}$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=\frac{39}{5}$$
