Answer:

The number is
x\geq 72

Explanation:

Given:

Quotient
\geq 15

Let the number be
x

The quotient is 15 of a number and 6 which is increaase by 3

Hence forming the inequality expression from the question given we get;


(x)/(6)+3\geq 15

Now Solving the above equation we get,


(x)/(6)+3\geq 15\\\\(x)/(6)\geq 15-3\\\\(x)/(6)\geq 12\\\\x\geq 12*6\\x\geq 72

Hence the number is
x\geq 72
