Sure, let's solve the equation together! We have the sentence "Three more than the product of a number and 9 is equal to 12."
Let's break it down into an equation. Let's say the number is represented by "x."
The product of a number and 9 is 9x.
And if we add three to that, we get 9x + 3.
According to the sentence, this should be equal to 12.
So our equation is 9x + 3 = 12.
To solve for x, we can subtract 3 from both sides:
9x = 9.
And then divide both sides by 9:
x = 1.
So the number we're looking for is 1.
