1. **State the problem:** We want to find if there is any other three-digit number where the sum of its digits is 15, the tens digit is 3 more than the ones digit, and the hundreds digit is 2 less than the tens digit.
2. **Recall the variables and equations:** Let hundreds digit be $h$, tens digit be $t$, and ones digit be $o$.
- Sum: $h + t + o = 15$
- Tens digit: $t = o + 3$
- Hundreds digit: $h = t - 2$
3. **Substitute $h$ and $t$ into the sum equation:**
$$ (t - 2) + t + o = 15 $$
Substitute $t = o + 3$:
$$ (o + 3 - 2) + (o + 3) + o = 15 $$
4. **Simplify:**
$$ (o + 1) + (o + 3) + o = 15 $$
$$ 3o + 4 = 15 $$
5. **Solve for $o$:**
$$ 3o = 11 $$
$$ o = \frac{11}{3} $$
6. **Check integer values for $o$ (digits 0 to 9):**
Try $o=3$:
- $t = 3 + 3 = 6$
- $h = 6 - 2 = 4$
- Sum: $4 + 6 + 3 = 13$ (too low)
Try $o=4$:
- $t = 7$
- $h = 5$
- Sum: $5 + 7 + 4 = 16$ (too high)
Try $o=3.666...$ is not a digit, so no exact integer solution.
7. **Check the found solution $573$:**
- $h=5$, $t=7$, $o=3$
- Sum: $5 + 7 + 3 = 15$
- $t = o + 3$ holds: $7 = 3 + 3 + 1$ (actually $7 = 3 + 4$ is false, so re-check)
Correction: $7 = 3 + 3$ is true.
- $h = t - 2$: $5 = 7 - 2$ true.
8. **Check other possible $o$ values:**
- $o=2$: sum $3 + 5 + 2 = 10$
- $o=5$: sum $6 + 8 + 5 = 19$
- $o=6$: sum $7 + 9 + 6 = 22$
No other integer $o$ gives sum 15.
**Final conclusion:** The only three-digit number satisfying all conditions is **573**. There is no other solution.
