[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we need to combine like terms and isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation: 2x - 4x - 3 = -27

Combine like terms: -2x - 3 = -27

Add 3 to both sides of the equation: -2x = -24

Now, divide both sides of the equation by -2: x = (-24)/(-2)

Simplifying, x = 12

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 12.
