To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable. Let's simplify the equation step by step:
27 = 46 + 3x - x
First, let's combine the x terms on the right side:
27 = 46 + 2x
Next, let's isolate the x term by subtracting 46 from both sides of the equation:
27 - 46 = 46 + 2x - 46
-19 = 2x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
-19/2 = 2x/2
-19/2 = x
Therefore, x = -19/2 or -9.5.
27= 46 + 3x -x
