Answer:
x=37/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
7x+8x+2=18x-27-8
7x+8x+2=18x+(-27)+(-8)
(7x+8x)+(2) = (18x)+(-27+ -8)
Step 2: Combine like terms
15x+2=18x+(-35)
15x+2=18x-35
Step 3: Subtract 18x from both sides
15x+2-18x=18x-35-18x
-3x+2=-35
Step 4: Subtract 2 from both sides
-3x+2-2=-35-2
-3x=-37
Step 5: Divide both sides by -3
[tex] \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 37}{ - 3} [/tex]
x=37/3
