Solve 27/x+12=3

$$\frac { 27 } { x } + 12 = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=-3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$27+x\times 12=3x$$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$$27+x\times 12-3x=0$$

Combine x\times 12 and -3x to get 9x.

$$27+9x=0$$

Subtract 27 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$9x=-27$$

Divide both sides by 9.

$$x=\frac{-27}{9}$$

Divide -27 by 9 to get -3.

$$x=-3$$
