Answer:
Let the number be x
From the given statement "3 times of a number equals to 27".
3 times of a number implies [tex]3 \times x[/tex]
then,
[tex]3\times x =27[/tex]
Division property of equality states that you divide the same number from both sides of an equation
Divide both sides by 3 , we get;
[tex]\frac{3\times x}{3} =\frac{27}{3}[/tex]
Simplify:
x =9
therefore, 3 times 9 equals 27
