To solve for x, first distribute the -3 on the left side of the equation:
-3(-4x - 3) = -27
12x + 9 = -27
Now, subtract 9 from both sides:
12x = -36
Finally, divide by 12 to find the value of x:
x = -36/12
x = -3
Therefore, x = -3.
Solve for x . −3(−4x−3)=−27 (1 point)

try again plz
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it again:
-3(-4x-3) = -27
Distribute the -3:
12x + 9 = -27
Subtract 9 from both sides:
12x = -36
Divide by 12:
x = -36/12
x = -3
Therefore, x = -3.
-3(-4x-3) = -27
Distribute the -3:
12x + 9 = -27
Subtract 9 from both sides:
12x = -36
Divide by 12:
x = -36/12
x = -3
Therefore, x = -3.
