To solve the problem, we are given the equations:

\[
a^2 + 15a - b^2 + 15b = c
\]

and 

\[
\frac{a}{b} + \frac{b}{a} = 2023.
\]

We want to find the value of \( c \).

First, let's simplify the second equation:

\[
\frac{a}{b} + \frac{b}{a} = \frac{a^2 + b^2}{ab} = 2023.
\]

From this, we have:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = 2023 \cdot ab.
\]

Now, let's substitute \( a^2 + b^2 \) from the above into the equation for \( c \):

\[
a^2 + 15a - b^2 + 15b = (a^2 - b^2) + 15(a + b).
\]

We know that \( a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) \), so:

\[
c = (a - b)(a + b) + 15(a + b).
\]

We can now use the relationship:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = 2023 \cdot ab.
\]

Substituting this into \( (a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2 \):

Since \( (a - b)(a + b) \) can be expressed by separating the variables, further simplification will involve additional assumptions or substitutions.

To find \( c \) explicitly, we can proceed with known substitutions:

If \( a + b = x \) and \( ab = y \), then:

\[
x^2 - 2y = 2023y,
\]

which rearranges to:

\[
x^2 = 2025y.
\]

Now, substituting into the equation for \( c \):

\[
c = x(a - b) + 15x = x \cdot (a - b + 15).
\]

Given \( x = 2025 \), and solving further will provide the exact value of \( c \). Let's calculate to find \( c \).The calculations have led to quite complex expressions involving square roots and multiple terms, which suggest the complexity of the solution for \( c \). These expressions involve symbolic forms that are not straightforward to simplify without numerical methods or further assumptions.

However, let's take a logical step based on the initial analysis:

Given:

\[
\frac{a}{b} + \frac{b}{a} = 2023 \implies \frac{a^2 + b^2}{ab} = 2023.
\]

This leads to:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = 2023 \cdot ab.
\]

From the provided equation:

\[
c = (a - b)(a + b) + 15(a + b).
\]

Substituting \( a^2 - b^2 \) with \( (a - b)(a + b) \), and simplifying \( a^2 + b^2 = 2023 \cdot ab \), would ideally yield a numerical value when simplified further.

Given the high complexity, let's simplify further with an assumption that involves setting specific values or approaches to match \( a \) and \( b \) values directly. This would help resolve \( c \) clearly. 

Would you like to proceed with a numerical assumption or further simplification to get the exact value of \( c \)? Here are some ways we can further explore:

1. Assume specific values for \( a \) and \( b \) to simplify \( c \) directly.
2. Utilize numerical methods to approximate the solution for the complex expressions.
3. Explore alternative factorization or substitution techniques for \( a \) and \( b \).
4. Confirm if any additional conditions are specified in the problem that could further simplify \( c \).
5. Check if simplifying step-by-step yields a less complex form directly.

**Tip:** In problems involving symmetry or large values, assume potential values or utilize estimation strategies to simplify algebraic expressions.

If a^2 + 15a - b^2 + 15b = c, for some real numbers a, b, c, and (a/b) + (b/a) = 2023, then find c.

This problem involves simplifying and solving an equation with two variables and finding the value of c. It explores quadratic equations, rational expressions, and algebraic simplification. Ideal for Grades 10-12.
