Answer :

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Isolate the variable x by transposing it.

24-3x=-27

-3x=-27-24

Add the equation.

-3x=-51

Simplify x by multiplying both sides by 1/-3.

-3x/-3= -51/3

x=17

Answer:

X =17

Step-by-step explanation:

24-3x = -27

collect like terms

-3x = -27 -24( crossing the = sign turns 24 negative)

-3x = -51

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-3x/-3 = -51/-3( negative signs cancels each other out)

x = 17
