-3(-4x - 3)=-27

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we need to distribute the -3 on the left side of the equation:

-3(-4x - 3) = -27
12x + 9 = -27

Now, we can isolate the variable by subtracting 9 from both sides:

12x + 9 - 9 = -27 - 9
12x = -36

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing by 12:

12x/12 = -36/12
x = -3

Therefore, the solution to the equation -3(-4x - 3) = -27 is x = -3.
