If I'm comprehending this question correctly, I would factor our a common factor, 27.

27(1-3)

Using distributing property you can check your answer.
27 x 1 - 27x3
27 - 81
Hi there!

Since both 27 and 81 are divisible by 27, we can rewrite it in distributive property without decimals:

27 / 27 = 1
81 / 27 = 3

27 (1 - 3) would be the answer.

Hope this helps!
