    Turn it into an equation then solve.

    3 (x + 21) = 12

    3x + 63 = 12

    3x = - 51

    x = - 17

    Answer: x = - 17

    Form your equation, where x is the number.

    3 (x + 21) = 12

    Solve for x.

    3 (x + 21) = 12 Distributive Property

    3x + 63 = 12 Subtract 63 from both sides

    3x = - 51 Divide by 3 to both sides

    x = - 17 Answer!
