If 2x - 3 + 3x = - 27, what is the value of x?

x = - 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to get x by itself.

2x - 3 + 3x = - 27

Combine like terms

(2x+3x) - 3 = - 27

5x-3=-27

Add 3 to both sides

5x-3+3=-27+3

5x = - 24

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = - 24/5

x = - 24/5

x = - 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3 + 3x = - 27

Combine like terms

5x - 3 = - 27

Add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = - 27+3

5x = - 24

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = - 24/5

x = - 24/5
