The number is $8$ .

As three times the difference of the number and $9$ is $-3$ ,

the difference of the number and $9$ is $-3/3=-1$

As the difference of the number and $9$ is $-3/3=-1$ ,

this means the number is less than $9$ by one

Hence number is $9-1=8$

If three times the difference of the number and 99 is -3-3, what is the number?
