Answer:
[tex]x=5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-8x-27=-7\left(1+2x\right)+2x[/tex]
Expand:
[tex]-8x-27=-7\times 1-7\times 2x+2x[/tex]
[tex]-8x-27=-7-12x[/tex]
Add 27 to both sides:
[tex]-8x-27+27=-7-12x+27[/tex]
[tex]-8x=-12x+20[/tex]
Add 12x to both sides:
[tex]-8x+12x=-12x+20+12x[/tex]
[tex]4x=20[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4:
[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
