Explanation:

1.) here,

let the number be x

=》15 = 6x + 3

=》6x = 15 - 3

=》x = 12 ÷ 6

=》x = 2

hence, the number is 2

2.) let the number be y

=》


13 = 7 + (y)/(5)

=》


(y)/(5) = 13 - 7

=》


y = 5 * 6

=》


y = 30

hence,the number is 30

3.) let the number be z

=》3z - 8 = -23

=》3z = -23 + 8

=》z = -15 ÷ 3

=》z = -5

hence, the number is -5
