To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the expression on the left side of the equation:
-3(-4x - 3) = -27
Multiplying -3 by -4x and -3 gives:
12x + 9 = -27
Next, we isolate the variable term by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
12x = -27 - 9
12x = -36
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 12:
x = (-36)/12
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
