3x9x

3x9x is typically read in mathematics as the product of three factors: 3, 9, and x. In standard notation this is written as 3 × 9 × x or 3 · 9 · x. As an algebraic term, it represents multiplication involving a constant factor and a variable.

When simplified, the constants can be multiplied first: 3 × 9 equals 27, so the expression reduces to 27x. The value of 27x depends on x, and it is defined for any real or complex value of x in its usual contexts. For example, if x = 2, 27x = 54; if x = -5, 27x = -135.

Key properties include commutativity and associativity of multiplication, which allow 3 × 9 × x to be regrouped without changing the result, such as (3 × x) × 9 or (9 × 3) × x. This makes 3 × 9 × x equivalent to 27x in algebraic expressions and equations. In broader use, 27x often appears as a linear term in polynomials or as a component of a larger expression, for instance in a polynomial like ax^2 + 27x + b.

Ambiguities can arise in non-mathematical contexts. The string 3x9x is uncommon in standard mathematical writing, where explicit multiplication signs or adjacency with a variable (as in 27x) are preferred. In programming or branding, the sequence could have different, non-mathematical meanings depending on the context.
