Sagot :
The number is 17.
The first part is "Fifteen less than twice a number".
Let us say that n represents the unknown number.
Twice a number is the same as two times the number or 2n, and fifteen less than 2n is 2n−15.
The next part "is the same as the" part of the word problem indicating that the two parts are equal. So we use an equal sign to represent it⇒2n−15 =
The third part of the problem is "the number plus two". This is the same as n+2
The final equation is 2n-15=n+2
To solve for n, we would add 15 to both sides: 2n=n+17
Then subtract 1n from both sides: n=17
The number is 17.
