To determine if \( x = 27 \) is a solution to the equation \( x - 10 = 12 \), we can substitute 27 for \( x \) in the equation and see if the equation holds true.
Starting with the equation:
\[
x - 10 = 12
\]
Substituting \( x = 27 \):
\[
27 - 10 = 12
\]
Now, simplify the left side:
\[
17 = 12
\]
Since \( 17 \neq 12 \), the equation does not hold true.
Therefore, \( x = 27 \) is **not** a solution to the equation \( x - 10 = 12 \).
