------------
x-3 = 27
x = 30

If there's a sqrt involved, it changes the problem. You'll have to specify where.

Well if your problem is coppied correctly, all you have to do is add 3 to both sides.
Given:
Since the (X - 3) is by itself and is not multiplied or divided by anything, you can drop the parenthesis.
Now add 3 to both sides
