Write and solve an equation to find the number n.

The difference of three times a number and 44 is - 19.

The unknown number is n. So n is the unknown variable in the equation.

In order to write an equation in which n is included we must know some dependence of n with other values.

We know that the difference of three times a number and 44 is - 19. So, we can write:

3*n-44=-19

3*n=-19+44

3*n=25

n=25/3
