Question: Which expression means "15 less than an unknown number"? 15 - x x - 15 x + 15 x/15
1. The problem asks us to find the expression that means "15 less than an unknown number." 2. Let the unknown number be represented by the variable $x$. 3. "15 less than an unknown number" means we start with the unknown number $x$ and subtract 15 from it. 4. The correct expression is therefore: $$x - 15$$ 5. The other options mean: - $15 - x$: 15 minus the unknown number (not "15 less than" but "15 minus") - $x + 15$: 15 more than the unknown number - $\frac{x}{15}$: the unknown number divided by 15 6. Hence, the answer is $x - 15$.
