The 347 students who listed soccer as their favorite sport were 13 less than three times the number of students who listed basketball as their favorite sport.

I assume you want to know the number of students (n) who listed basketball as their favourite sport!

 

3*n - 13 = 347

 

Add 13 to both sides

3*n = 360

 

Divide both sides by 3

n = 120.

 

There are 120 students who listed basketball as their favourite sport.
