Let the value of the number be represented as x.

Then, write out an equation;

3x=2x+3 <--- Solve for x now
3x-2x=3
x=3

Therefore the number is 3.

Hope I helped :)

Answer:

3x = 2x + 3.

Explanation:

In the question it has been given that three times a number is three more than twice the number.

Let the number is x.

Then by the given statement 3x = 2x + 3

So equation formed can be used to find the value of x

3x - 2x = 3

x = 3

Therefore, the number is 3 and equation to be solved for x is 3x = 2x + 3.
