The number is five
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is
Write an algebraic expression and find the number
Let
x ---> the number
we know that
The algebraic expression that represent this problem is
[tex]15-x=\frac{2}{3}(6x-15)[/tex]
solve for x
Multiply by 3 both sides to remove the fraction
[tex]45-3x=2(6x-15)[/tex]
[tex]45-3x=12x-30[/tex]
[tex]12x+3x=45+30[/tex]
[tex]15x=75[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
