the answer is: the equation that represents this sentence is 15x - 37= 38 because if 37 LESS of 15 times x is 38, then your first step is to add 37 to 38. once you've done this you then divide the answer by 15. therefore x=4 and 15x-37=38 is your answer. its just put in a different order to how I explained it but still 100% correct. hope I helped
