Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -3 for x and for 5

-3x-15=27

When you have this type of equation the first thing you do is take off the parentesis

Then you pass the 15 to the other side and you get -3x= 27 +15 . After that you divide that for -3 and you get the x . In this case x= -14

Sorry if the english is bad, i hope this helps
