Answer: k - 15 = 33

Explanation:

So basically you just translate the problem into math form. 33 is a #, is is an = sign so, 33 = so far. Then 15 is less than k, which is not 15 - k but k - 15. There's a difference. Say k is 30, so 30 - 15 and not 15 - 30. So then you have 33 = k - 15, then I just switched it around to look better and done.
