Solving the Question

We're given:

  • Fifteen is three times the difference between three times a number, n, and four.

Divide the sentence into parts:

  • [Fifteen] [is] [three times the difference between three times a number, n, and four]

Translate into numbers and operations:

  • 15 = [three times the difference between three times a number, n, and four]
  • 15 = 3 × [difference between three times a number, n, and four]
  • 15 = 3 × (3n - 4)

Isolate n:

15 = 3 × (3n - 4)

15 = 9n - 12

27 = 9n

n = 3

Answer

15 = 3 × (3n - 4)

n = 3
