Let us say the number was x.

Mike added to it two other numbers.

First number added is 12 less than the original number.

So first number is x-12.

Second number added is 12 more than the original number.

So second number is x+12.

Now we are given that the result of adding all three numbers is 15.

Converting the information given into equation, we have:

original number + first number + second number =15

x+(x-12)+(x+12)=15

Adding like terms,

3x=15

dividing both sides by 3,

x=5

Answer: So the original number that Mike thought was 5.

svlad2 [7]

We know that distance = rate(time). We need to solve for time here.

d = rt\\90 = 45t\\t = \frac{90}{45}\\t = 2


The car took 2 hours to travel 90 miles at a speed of 45 mi/hr
