Solve for x
x = \frac{10}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} \approx 3.333333333
x = -\frac{8}{3} = -2\frac{2}{3} \approx -2.666666667

-3\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}+27-27=-27
Subtract 27 from both sides of the equation.
-3\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}=-27
Subtracting 27 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{-3\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}}{-3}=-\frac{27}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}=-\frac{27}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}=9
Divide -27 by -3.
x-\frac{1}{3}=3 x-\frac{1}{3}=-3
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{1}{3}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=3-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) x-\frac{1}{3}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-3-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)
Add \frac{1}{3} to both sides of the equation.
x=3-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) x=-3-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)
Subtracting -\frac{1}{3} from itself leaves 0.
x=\frac{10}{3}
Subtract -\frac{1}{3} from 3.
x=-\frac{8}{3}
Subtract -\frac{1}{3} from -3.
x=\frac{10}{3} x=-\frac{8}{3}
The equation is now solved.
