Let's call the number x. The problem states that 3 multiplied by x gives the product. If 3 is then subtracted from the product, it equals 24. So, we can set up the equation 3x - 3 = 24. Solving this equation, we find that x is equal to 9.
You can call it a "number." To distinguish it from a variable expression, you can also call it a "constant."
a proportion
An equation that sets two fractions equal to each other is called a proportion. In a proportion, the cross products of the fractions are equal. For example, if you have the proportion ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ), then ( ad = bc ). Proportions are commonly used in solving problems involving ratios and rates.

you call it an equivalent ratio
A proportion.
equivalent ratio
A mathematical statement that contains an = sign is called an equation.ex:2x +5 is a statement, this is NOT an equation.2x +5 = 10this IS an equation, because it has an = sign.
You call that a "solution" of the equation.
E=mc2 reads Energy is equal to mass multiply by the speed of light squared. This is call the energy and mass equivalence equation.
