Does this mean that you are required to use "substitution" or some other particular method(s) for these exercises?

If we take away 27 from four 'x' we got 10 left.
One thing we can do in a expression like this is to add a number to both sides.

so lets add 27



remember that we must do the same thing on both sides of the '='

We can do anything, add, substract, divide, multiply, as long as we do it on both sides and don't break any rules (but let's leave that).
