Answer:
The statement is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that x is the required number.
Now, given that the number minus 3 is at most 12.
Hence, x - 3 ≤ 12
⇒ x ≤ 15 ......... (1)
And also given that 1 more than 2 times the number is at least 25.
Hence, 2x + 1 ≥ 25
⇒ 2x ≥ 24
⇒ x ≥ 12 .......... (2)
Therefore, from equations (1) and (2) we get the number must be greater than or equal to 12 or less than or equal to 15.
So, the statement is true. (Answer)
