This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

Let x = your number.
6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.
0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor
0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero
(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.
x = -3. This is the negative solution.
(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
x = 9. This is the positive solution.
A = P + I
2a = a + PTR/100
2a = a + 5aT/100
2a = a(1+T/20)
2=1+T/20
T=20 yrs
