27 is 6 more than 3 times a number. What is the number.
Answer:
The required number is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is required to find,
A number say 'x', such that, 27 is 6 more than 3 times the number.
That is, we have the relation, \(3x+6=27\).
On solving, we get,
\(3x+6=27\)
i.e. \(3x=27-6\)
i.e. \(3x=21\)
i.e. x = 7
So, the required number which hold the relation that '27 is 6 more than 3 times the number' is 7.
