    Let the number be x.

    Triple the number means 3x

    add 6 means 3x + 6

    subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x

    the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3

    So, combining these into an equation, we get:

    3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3

    If we solve this equation for x, we will get:

    x + 6 = x + 3

    The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3

    Therefore, this is a false statement.
