Answer:

The answer is:


15+7x=99\\x=12

Explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about equations.

We use equations when we have to express a problem with variables and values. In this case, we have one variable that expresses "the number" that is mentioned in the statement.

It is important to declare that there is a sequence of resolve the math operations. First it is the multiplying and then the addition.

In this case:

x="a number"


15+7x=99\\7x=99-15\\7x=84\\x=12

Finally, we have the following equation of the problem and its solution:


15+7x=99\\x=12
