Question

15 subtracted from twice a number gives 3. What is that number?

Answer 1

Answer: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 15 = 30

Then, 30 + 3 equals 33. So, if you take 33 and subtract 15 from it you get 18, then you subtract another 15 from it then you get 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number =a

(2×a) - 15 = 3

(2×a)= 3+15

(2×a) = 18

2a/2 = 18/2

a = 9
