Question 338840
Which equation represents the following problem? Fifteen minus three times a number(n) equels negitive twenty-two. Find the number." So, I found the equation - it's 15-3n=-22 , right?
----
Right.
15-3n= -22
3n = 15+22
3n = 37
n = 37/3 = 12 1/3
-----------
Checking:
15 - 3(37/3) = -22
15 - 37 = -22
-22 = -22
