The answer is 3 equation is 3x-3=2x
The first statement says that the number tripled is 3 more then when it’s doubled. It means that 2x which is being doubled is equal to 3x-3.
You set it up as 3x-3=2x
To solve you subtract the 2x from both side and end up with x-3=0
And then you have to add 3 to both side to get the answer x=3
