There are an infinite group of negative numbers where if you were to double them and add 3 that they would add up to less than -15. for instance -12*2+3= -21
the number is negative two.
This can easily be solved using algebra. First, translate the meaning of the sentence into an algebraic equation.supposing x is the number,-15 + 3 = 2(x)-12 = 2xx = -6

The difference between a number x and twice y is equal to fifteen.
What is the quotient of twice the number and three
the number is negative two.

2x + 3 = 15 -3 -3 2x = 12 x = 6
negative 5
What is the quotient of twice the number and three
2x + 5 = 152x = 10x = 5The number is 5.
The difference between a number x and twice y is equal to fifteen.
2x + 5 = -3 2x = -8 x = -8/2 x = -4

twice the difference of three times a number and eight
negative 2
