4%287x%2B10%29=3%289x-5%29%2B20 Start with the given equation



28x%2B40=27x-15%2B20 Distribute


28x%2B40=27x%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side


28x=27x%2B5-40Subtract 40 from both sides


28x-27x=5-40 Subtract 27x from both sides


x=5-40 Combine like terms on the left side


x=-35 Combine like terms on the right side

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=-35
