SOLVE FOR X SHOW YOUR WORK 27+6x=99 X=?

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

27+6x=99

We want to get x alone

Subtract 27 from each side

27-27+6x=99-27

Divide each side by 6

6x = 72

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12

27+6x=99 X=

Simplifying

27 + - 6x = 99

Solving

27 + - 6x = 99

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-27' to each side of the equation.

27 + - 27 + - 6x = 99 + - 27

Combine like terms: 27 + - 27 = 0

0 + - 6x = 99 + - 27

-6x = 99 + - 27

Combine like terms: 99 + - 27 = 72

-6x = 72

Divide each side by '-6'.

x = - 12

Simplifying

x = - 12
