5x - 3 = -27 or 5x= - 24
which leads to x= -(24/5). Answer.

5X-3=-27<---add the 3 to the other side
5X=-30 <--divide by the 5
X=-6

First: add "3" to both sides > when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign - addition goes with subtraction, etc.).....
5x - 3 + 3 = - 27 + 3
5x = - 24
Sec: isolate "x" on one side > divide both terms by "5".....
(5x)/5 = - 24/5
x = -24/5
P.S. You don't need the solution in decimal form, unless your teacher asks you to do so.

5x - 3 = -27 add 3 to each side
5x=-24 divide both sides by 5
x=-24/5=-4.8

5x-3= -27
add 3 to -27 which is -24
divide 5 by -24 & ypu'll get...
x= -24/5

i think the answer is x=-4.8 or x=-24/5 because you bring the 3 over and do -27+3 which is -24 then divide that by 5. hope it works!
