I am the number _ _ _ _

>>My tens digit is three times my hundreds digit.<<
So my tens digit is a multiple of 3

>>My units digit is also seven less than my tens digit<<
So my tens digit is a multiple of 3 large enough to subtract 7 from.
Therefore my tens digit is 9.  So 
I am the number _ _ 9 _

>>My units digit is also seven less than my tens digit<<
Therefore my units digit is 9-7 or 2.  So 
I am the number _ _ 9 2

>>My tens digit is three times my hundreds digit.<<
Therefore my hundreds digit is 3.   
I am the number _ 3 9 2

>>my units digit is twice my thousands digit.<<
So my thousands digit is 1.            
I am the number 1 3 9 2

>>My units digit is...only one less than my hundreds digit<<
We don't need that information, but it checks 
since 2 is 1 less than 3.
I am the number 1392.
