Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by combining like terms on the left side:

2x - 4x - 3 = -27

-2x - 3 = -27

Next, we can isolate the variable x by adding 3 to both sides:

-2x = -24

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -2:

x = -24 / -2

x = 12

Therefore, x equals 12.
