    First, turn your problem into an equation.

    3x - 3 = 21

    x represents the unknown number.

    Your goal is to solve for x.

    Start by adding 3 to both sides.

    3x - 3 = 21

    + 3 + 3

    3x = 24

    Your next step is to divide by 3.

    3x/3 = 24/3

    x = 8

    Your answer is 8.

    Your welcome!
