Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute -3 to -4x and -3 in the equation.
-3(-4x - 3) = 27
12x + 9 = 27
Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate 12x.
12x + 9 - 9 = 27 - 9
12x = 18
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x.
12x/12 = 18/12
x = 3/2 or x = 1.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation -3(-4x - 3) = 27 is x = 3/2 or x = 1.5.
