Suppose a number is :
[tex]x[/tex]
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Three times of it means :
[tex]3x[/tex]
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
26 less than above means :
[tex]3x - 26[/tex]
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Equals - 32 :
[tex]3x - 26 = - 32[/tex]
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Find the that number ;
x asked thus we need to solve the above equation for x.
Let's do it....
[tex]3x - 26 = - 32[/tex]
Add sides 26
[tex]3x - 26 + 26 = - 32 + 26[/tex]
[tex]3x = - 6[/tex]
Divide sides by 3
[tex] \frac{3}{3} x = \frac{ - 6}{3} \\ [/tex]
[tex]x = - 2[/tex]
Done...
