Answer 21

Remeber there is a negative in front of the 27.

You could rewrite what I wrote above as:

\(\sf 6x-27+27 = -3+27\)

Answer 22

I thought it was a minus

Answer 23

-27 + 27 = 27 - 27 = ?

Answer 24

0

Answer 25

and

-3 + 27 = 27 -3 = ?

Answer 26

27 - 3?

Answer 27

24

Answer 28

So now you get:

\(\sf 6x = 24\)

What is 24/6 = ?

Answer 29

also btw,

\(\sf -3+27= +27 -3\)

if we re-arrange the terms we can get that and it's much easier subtraction :)

Answer 30

Whatever you get as 24/6 = ?

is your answer :)
