Antony Villarreal · Answer 1

X is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2y = 18

3x - 2 (27) = 18

3x - 54 = 18

3x = 72

x = 24

Ingrid Dalton · Answer 2

X = 24

How?

First, plug in "27" to y.

3x - 2 (27) = 18

Next, multiply the numbers

3x - 54 = 18

Now, add 54 to both sides.

3x = 18 + 54

Combine the like terms.

3x = 72

Finally, divide both sides by 3.

X = 24
