Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we need to distribute the -3 on the left side of the equation:
-3 * -4x = 12x
-3 * -3 = 9
So now our equation becomes:
12x + 9 = -27
Next, we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we need to move the constant term to the right side of the equation by subtracting 9 from both sides:
12x = -27 - 9
12x = -36
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 12:
x = -36 / 12
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the equation -3(-4x - 3) = -27 is x = -3.
