You just need to create an equation from the words. Start with one piece and slowly add to it. Take it one step at a time:
"Three times some number" ({{{3*x}}})
"plus 3" ({{{3x+3}}})
"divided by 2" ({{{(3x+3)/2}}})
"is equal to 18." ({{{(3x+3)/2=18}}})
Find the number.

{{{(3x+3)/2=18}}}
{{{3x+3=36}}}
{{{3x=33}}}
{{{x=11}}}
