Solve 24x-64-60x+180=27x-216+17

$$24x-64-60x+180=27x-216+17$$

Solve for x

$$x=5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 24x and -60x to get -36x.

$$-36x-64+180=27x-216+17$$

Add -64 and 180 to get 116.

$$-36x+116=27x-216+17$$

Add -216 and 17 to get -199.

$$-36x+116=27x-199$$

Subtract 27x from both sides.

$$-36x+116-27x=-199$$

Combine -36x and -27x to get -63x.

$$-63x+116=-199$$

Subtract 116 from both sides.

$$-63x=-199-116$$

Subtract 116 from -199 to get -315.

$$-63x=-315$$

Divide both sides by -63.

$$x=\frac{-315}{-63}$$

Divide -315 by -63 to get 5.

$$x=5$$
