Answer
$\log$$_{3}$27 = 3
Work Step by Step
To put the problem ($\log$$_{3}$27) into words it is simply asking:
3 to the what power equals 27?
To make this simpler to read, you can rewrite this into exponential form. To do this, you would write it as:
$3^{x}$ = 27
Now that the problem is easier to read, you can use multiplication to figure out what x equals.
3$\times$3$\times$3=27
Since it takes 3 multiplying itself three times to get to 27, x = 3.
So to write it into logarithm form, you have to answer what the problem is asking:
3 to what power equals 27? 3
$\log$$_{3}$27 = 3
