Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.

And let's represent "a number" with x.

63 - 15x = 72

Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.

-15x = 72-63

-15x = 9

x = -9/15 = -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be represented as 63 - 15 x X = 72

To further simplify the problem : 63 - 15x = 72

Then you subtract

- 15x = 9

- 3/5
