Answer 1

The answer is:  [D]: 
_____________________________________________________
         "The equation that represents this sentence is 15x − 37 = 38."
___________________________________________________________

Note:  The product of "15 and {"a number"} " ;  can be represented by:

  "15 * x"  ; or "15x" ; in which "x" is the "unknown number.

"37 LESS THAN {this value}; or "37 LESS THAN {15x} ;

is represented by:   15x − 37 ;  which we are told is equal to "38" .

So;   15x − 37 = 38 .
