To solve for x, we need to simplify the equation and isolate x.
We can start by distributing -3 to (-4x - 3):
-3 * -4x - 3 * -3 = -27
Simplifying further:
12x + 9 = -27
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
12x = -27 - 9
This simplifies to:
12x = -36
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:
x = -36/12
Simplifying the division:
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
