Answer:
[tex]3x-6=36[/tex] and the solution is x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just represent "a number" as "x", and "triple a number" would imply multiplication or in other words, the coefficient is 3. We're subtracting 6 and getting 36. This gives us the following equation: [tex]3x-6=36[/tex]
Not sure if you need to solve it as well, but I'll do that either way.
Original Equation:
[tex]3x-6=36[/tex]
Add 6 to both sides
[tex]3x=42[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3
[tex]x=14[/tex]
