    x = - 24/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve, we need to get x by itself.

    2x - 3 + 3x = - 27

    Combine like terms

    (2x+3x) - 3 = - 27

    5x-3=-27

    Add 3 to both sides

    5x-3+3=-27+3

    5x = - 24

    Divide both sides by 5

    5x/5 = - 24/5

    x = - 24/5

    x = - 24/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2x - 3 + 3x = - 27

    Combine like terms

    5x - 3 = - 27

    Add 3 to each side

    5x-3+3 = - 27+3

    5x = - 24

    Divide each side by 5

    5x/5 = - 24/5

    x = - 24/5
