To find the number, let's break down the problem step by step.
First, let's define the number as "x".
The problem states that the difference of three times the number and 6 is 29. We can write this as an equation:
3x - 6 = 29
To solve this equation for x, we need to isolate the variable.
We can start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -6:
3x - 6 + 6 = 29 + 6
This simplifies to:
3x = 35
Next, we want to isolate x, so we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = 35/3
This simplifies to:
x = 35/3
Therefore, the number is 35/3.
