One subtracted from the result of tripling x and is equal to two times the difference of x and 4. Find x

I really need help, I can't decipher the sentence into a mathematical equation. ;-; I really need an answer.

If two is subtracted from a number: let's give the number a name and call it X . And this difference is tripled: so we get 3(X−2) . The result is 4 more than the number, so

3(X−2)=4+X .

We want to know X so we need to get it to one side of the equation. That's done by repeatedly doing the same operation on both sides of the equation. First get rid of the parentheses:

3X−6=4+X.

Now subtract X and add 6 :

2X=10

Divide by 2:

X=5
