- = 27
- = ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The solution is in couple of lines. 


From the given part in the first line we have

    x = ,  a = .


Hence,

       =  =  = 

           substitute here   = 27  from the second given line

    =  = 4*3 = 12.


ANSWER.  Under given conditions,   = 12.

Solved.
