Question

If 27 × 3n = 27, find the value of n.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

27×3n=27

3n=1

n=1/3

n=0.333333......

Answer 2

Answer:

n = 1/3 or 0.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms. 3n = 27÷27

Tip: We want to get n by itself so, to do that we have to switch 27 to the other side. When you switch a number to the other side, the sign changes. For example, +27 would now become -27 when switched to the other side of an equation.

Next, simplify.  3n = 1

Next, divide.  3n÷3 = 1÷3

Lastly, simplify.  n = 1/3 or 0.3 repeating.

Hope this helped!
