Blake Velazquez · Answer 1

A number divided by 5 is 3 more than - 6.

Let the number be "x".

x/5 = - 6 + 3

First combine like terms.

x/5 = - 3

Now multiply both sides by 5 to get x on one side.

x = - 15

The answer is

C. - 15

Charmer · Answer 2

Its c. - 15 because - 15/5=-3.

-3 is 3 more than - 6.
