Question

What is the solution to the equation?

6x – 27 = –3

A.
x = –5

B.
x = –4

C.
x = 4

D.
x = 5

Answer 1

`6x - 27 = -3`

Add 27 to both sides


`6x - 27 + 27 = -3+27`


`6x = 24`

Divide 6 from both sides


`(6x)/(6) : (24)/(6)`


`x = 4`

Answer 2

6x - 27 = -3

Add 27 to both sides:

6x = 24

Divide 6 to both sides:

x = 4
