For what value of x does 34 * = 27*-3?

-2.38 but only if I've put the x in the right place. Leave a note if I have not.

Explanation:

Do the right side first.

27*-3 = - 81

So the left side is 34*x = - 81

Now divide by 34. The steps are to combine the like terms when they exist as they did in this question. 27 * - 3 both are integers and therefore both are alike.

34x/34 = - 81/34

x = - 2.38
