    Six Less than the total of three times a number and negative eight.

    Let's take this in pieces:
    Three times a number = 3x

    The total of this and negative eight means we subtract eight
    3x - 8

    Six Less than this total means we subtract 6
    3x - 8 - 6

    Simplify by combining like terms:
    3x - 14
