Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

I will replicate what you said into an algebraic equation.

Your number will be represented as x.

(3x + 3) - (2x + 1) = 9

Distribute the negative.

3x + 3 - 2x - 1 = 9

Combine like terms.

x + 2 = 9

Subtract both sides of the equation by 2.

x = 7

Your number is 7.

Checking my answer:

(3(7) + 3) - (2(7) + 3) = 9

(21 + 3) - (14 + 3) = 9

24 - 17 = 9

9 = 9 ✓

So, your number is 7.
