Answer:

591

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use algebra to solve this question:

Units digit = x

Hundreds digit = x+4

Tens digit = 3 + (x+4) + x = 2x +7

All 3 digits = 15

so x + (x+4) + 2x + 7 = 15

4x +11 =15

4x = 4

x = 1

Then you substitute:

Units = 1

Hundreds = 1+4 = 5

Tens = 2(1) + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9

The number is therefore 591.
