Simplify the left side of the equation:
2(x - 5) = 2x - 10
Simplify the right side of the equation:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 30
simplyfy the right side
Apologies for the mistake. Let's simplify the right side of the equation:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 33

Apologies for the incorrect simplification. Let's simplify the right side of the equation again:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 9 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 30
To find the equation that has the same first step to solve as the given equation 2x + 12 - 3x = 27, we need to simplify the equation by combining like terms. The first step is to combine the terms with x on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side.
So, let's go through the options:
1. 2x + 12 = 27
This equation does not have the same first step because it already has the terms combined. We can skip this option.
2. 2(x - 5) + 2x = 10
This equation involves distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses, which is not the same first step as the given equation. We can skip this option.
3. 2x + 12 = -3x - 27
This equation has the same first step as the given equation because we need to combine the terms with x on one side and the constant terms on the other side. So, this is the answer.
4. 4x - 17 + 2x = 9
This equation is similar to the given equation, but it involves combining the terms on both sides before we can simplify further. It is not the same first step.
Therefore, the equation that has the same first step to solve as the given equation is 2x + 12 = -3x - 27.
