Answer:

-3(n + 2)= 15

Explanation:

Based on this question, we know that the equation involves multiplication. Here we start our equation with -3!

Then it says "times the sum of a number and two" So let's just say the "number" is "n". The word "sum" means the answer to an addition problem, thus we know that we are adding "n" and 2. Let's put that in parenthesis!

-3(n+2)

And it says "is fifteen" which also means "equals to fifteen"

Therefore, the answer is:

-3(n + 2) = 15

Hope you find this useful :D
