7-2 (2+3x) = 27what is he answer

7-2=5

5-27=22

22-2=20

20/3=6.66667

x=6.66667

Simplifying 7 + - 2 (2 + 3x) = 27 7 + (2 * - 2 + 3x * - 2) = 27 7 + (-4 + - 6x) = 27 Combine like terms: 7 + - 4 = 3 3 + - 6x = 27 Solving 3 + - 6x = 27 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + - 3 + - 6x = 27 + - 3 Combine like terms: 3 + - 3 = 0 0 + - 6x = 27 + - 3 - 6x = 27 + - 3 Combine like terms: 27 + - 3 = 24 - 6x = 24 Divide each side by '-6'. x = - 4 Simplifying x = - 4
