Question 785990: What would this phrase look like in an acual equation? fifteen times a number is decreased by fifteen. this result is then increased by two times the number. the result is negative 5 times the original number minus the opposite of ten? Answer by wilft1(217) (Show Source):

increased by two times the number tells me that you add 2x to it
minus the opposite of ten tells me your subtracting negative 10
