    The positive integer is 9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number.

    Let the number be x

    These interpreted means 6 nultiplies by x is 27 less than the square of that number (x^2). F

    6x = 27
    0 = 27<-6x+x^2

    Look for 2 numbers whose product is 27 and sum is - 6

    0 = 27<-9x+3x+x^2

    0 = - 9 (3+x) + x (3+x)

    0 = (x-9) (3+x)

    x-9 = 0 3 + x = 0

    x = 9 - 3 = x

    The positive integer is 9
