Question 111938


{{{3x-5=5x+27}}} Start with the given equation




{{{3x=5x+27+5}}}Add 5 to both sides



{{{3x-5x=27+5}}} Subtract 5x from both sides



{{{-2x=27+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-2x=32}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(32)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x




{{{x=-16}}} Divide

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-16}}}
