Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Recall the power property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{m^n}=n\log_b{m}$ We rewrite the values in the form of $m^n$, so that we can apply the power property: $\log_{3}{27}-2\log_3{3}\\ =\log_{3}{3^3}-2\log_3{3}\\ =3\log_{3}{3}-2\log_3{3}\\ =(3\times1)-(2\times1)\\ =3-2\\ =1$ We also used the fact that $\log_{3}{3}=1$ (because $3^1=3$).
