3/7x+5=8.
I tried to cross-mulitplied and I got 3x+35=8. I divided -27 by 3 and I got -9. Is this right?

Yes, this is correct. To solve the equation, you need to isolate the variable (in this case, x) by performing the same operation (in this case, addition) on both sides of the equation. You can then subtract 35 from both sides, resulting in 3x = -27. Then by dividing both sides by 3, you get x = -9. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -9.
