Answer 2

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first setup an equation!

We know the order since the word problem has told us.

$(x-15)*-6=-144$

We can now simplify it, first, we can divide by -6 on both sides.

We now get:

$(x-15)=24$

Now, we can add 15 on both sides to get our answer.

$x=39$

We can insert that in and we will get the same answer.
