3x=27-15x

Step 1. Add 15x to both sides of the equation

3x%2B15x=27-15x%2B15x

18x=27

Step 2. Divide by 18 to both sides of the equation

18x%2F18=27%2F18

x=3%2F2

Step 3. Substitute the solution x=3%2F2 into the original equation 3x=27-15x

3%2A3%2F2=27-15%2A3%2F2

9%2F2=%2854-45%29%2F2

9%2F2=9%2F2 which is a true statement

Step 4. ANSWER: The solution is x=9%2F2

I hope the above steps were helpful.
