Let's solve the equation step by step:
The given equation is:
\[ 2x - 4x - 3 = -27 \]
First, combine like terms on the left side:
\[ -2x - 3 = -27 \]
Next, add 3 to both sides:
\[ -2x = -27 + 3 \]
\[ -2x = -24 \]
Now, divide both sides by -2:
\[ x = \frac{-24}{-2} \]
\[ x = 12 \]
So the solution is:
**x = 12** (or "x equals 12").
