Can I get some help on this question please, and a a explanation on how you got the answer too.

Work Shown:

There are 2 x's over the "1/4", so 2*1/4 = 2/4 of a quart is drank in total by this group. Let P = 2/4

There are 5 x's over the "3/4", so 5*3/4 = 15/4 quarts is drank in total by this group. Let Q = 15/4

Subtract P and Q

Q - P = 15/4 - 2/4 = (15-2)/4 = 13/4

Convert the result to a mixed number

13/4 = (12+1)/4

13/4 = 12/4 + 1/4

13/4 = 3 + 1/4

13/4 = 3 & 1/4

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
