I hope..it must be easier

Answer 1

Let the no be x
According to the given question...
3x-12 = 27
3x = 27+12
3x = 39
x = 39/3
x =13
therefore,
13×3=39
and 39-12= 27
 

Answer 2

hey dude,

three times can be written as 3x

3x - 12 = 27
3x = 27+12
3x = 39
x = 39 / 3
x = 13

so 13 is the number..

3 × 13 -12 = 27

hope it helps you...have a great day...
