Answer:

3x - 23 = 2828

Explanation:

I'll assume the question is supposed to read "The sum of three times a number (x) and −23 is 2828."

"three times a number (x)" can be written as 3x

"sum of three times a number (x) and −23" means 3x - 23

"is 2828" = 2828

Put them together:

3x - 23 = 2828

==================

Not part of the question

If you want to solve for x:

3x = 2805

x = 935
