To solve this we must first get x alone, so subtract 5 on both sides of the equation
2x + 5 - 5 = 27 - 5
2x = 27 - 5

Can you tell me what is 27 - 5?

Answer 7

ya its 22

Answer 8

Good! So now we have
2x = 22

To finally make x alone we must divide 2 on both sides of the equation

2x/2 = 22/2
x = 22/2

So what is 22/2?
