Solve 4(2 - 3x) = -2x - 27

Evaluate

4 (2 - 3 x) = - 2 x - 27

Expand the expression

More Steps

8 - 12 x = - 2 x - 27

Move the expression to the left side

8 - 12 x + 2 x = - 27

Move the expression to the right side

- 12 x + 2 x = - 27 - 8

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 10 x = - 27 - 8

Add and subtract

- 10 x = - 35

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

10 x = 35

Divide both sides

\frac{10 x}{10} = \frac{35}{10}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{35}{10}

Solution

x = \frac{7}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 3.5
