Answer:

11

Explanation:

Focus on the product of a number and three part first

3×X=?

next it says 18 is 15 less than the product so the product is equal to

18+15=33

now Rewrite the initial equation with the product

3×X=33

now divide by three on both sides to isolate the X , that will result in

X=11

good luck!!! I believe in you!!!
