fifteen more than twice a number is more than -23

Answer 1

Let's call the number "x".

Twice the number is 2x.
Fifteen more than twice the number is 2x + 15.

The inequality can be written as:
2x + 15 > -23

Now let's solve for x:
2x > -23 - 15
2x > -38
x > -38/2
x > -19

Therefore, any number greater than -19 will make the inequality true.
