Answer:

x = -24/5

none of the options listed

Step-by-step explanation:

27=−5x+3

the choices all have x listed as a positive number, so we need to fix the question by moving 5x to the other side of the = and changing its sign.

27 +5x= 3

then move the 27

5x= 3 -27

then subtract

5x = -24

then divide both sides by 5

x = -24/5
