Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll go part by part.
"15 is equal to" so simple enough 15= now what is it equal to?
9 more than a number. Well what does that mean? it might help if we try out an actual number. What is 9 more than 3? 12, so another way of writing that is +9. It's not telling us the number we are adding 9 to so it's a variable. So we'll say x + 9.
This leaves us with 15 = x + 9, which you could even solve.
