27-2%283-2x%29=26%2B3%28x-1%29 Start with the given equation.


27-6%2B4x=26%2B3x-3 Distribute.


4x%2B21=26%2B3x-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x%2B21=3x%2B23 Combine like terms on the right side.


4x=3x%2B23-21 Subtract 21 from both sides.


4x-3x=23-21 Subtract 3x from both sides.


x=23-21 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=2 Combine like terms on the right side.
