Question

A number, n, is added to 15 less than 3 times itself. The result is 101. Which eguation can be used to find the value

of n?
a.3n - 15+ n101
b.O 3n+ 15 + n 101
c.O 3n-15-n101
d.03n + 15-n101

Answer 1

The correct equation to find the value of n when n is added to 15 less than 3 times itself and the result is 101 is 3n + n - 15 = 101, which simplifies to 4n - 15 = 101.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation n is added to 15 less than 3 times itself, and the result is 101, we can set up the equation as follows:

3n - 15 + n = 101,

where 3n represents 'three times n', and -15 is '15 less'. We then combine like terms (the n terms) to simplify the equation. So, the equation to find the value of n is:

3n + n - 15 = 101

This equation can be simplified to:

4n - 15 = 101.
