Question

fifteen more than three times a number is the same as twelve less than six times the number. what is the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no be x.

hence, 3x+15 = 6x-12

          3x-6x= -12-15

                -3x= -27

                   x= -27/-3  (cancelling the minus in both numerator and denominator)

               x= 27/3

                x=9.
