$\frac{15}{2+x} = 3$
Multiplying both sides by $2+x$:
$15 = 3(2+x)$
Dividing both sides by 3:
$5 = 2+x$
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
$x = 3$
The quotient of 15 and 2 more than x is 3. Find x.

The problem asks us to find the value of $x$ given that the quotient of 15 and 2 more than $x$ is 3.
To translate this into an equation, we can write:
$$\frac{15}{2+x} = 3$$
To solve for $x$, we want to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can begin by multiplying both sides by $2+x$, which gives:
$$15 = 3(2+x)$$
Simplifying the right side:
$$15 = 6 + 3x$$
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
$$9 = 3x$$
Finally, dividing both sides by 3 gives us:
$$x = 3$$
Therefore, the answer is $x = 3$.
