To solve this problem you need to understand how to translate it into an equation.
a number we can call x
less than means we subtract
times obviously we multiplly
the word "is" most often is =
more than is +
So let's take the first part. 2 less than 3 times a number
3 times a number is 3x
2 less than 3x is
3x-2
is the same as is =
3x-2=
now on the other side we have 3 times a number
3x
3 more than that is 3x+3
so we put it all together and we get
3x-2=3x+3
The problem with this is that the two sides are not equal so there is no solution. Are you sure you wrote the problem correctly?
