To solve for x, we can first cross multiply:
-6 * -3 = (5x - 27)
18 = 5x - 27
Next, we can isolate the x term by adding 27 to both sides of the equation:
18 + 27 = 5x
45 = 5x
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
45/5 = x
9 = x
Therefore, x is equal to 9.
-6 = 5x - 27

-3
