Answer:

4n-15 = 101

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is n, when added to 15 less than 3 times itself result is 101.

As we are given number is = n

Three times itself = 3n

Then, 15 less than 3 times itself = 3n - 15

Now if we add n to 15 less than 3 times itself we get the result is 101. Now the expression will be

n + (3n-15) = 101

4n - 15 = 101

What is the angle of DBC

Licemer1 [7]

When added, these two angles are supplementary, meaning that their sum is 180. This means that we can do the following to find x, and eventually DBC:

3x+67+4x+50=180
Simplifies to:
7x+117=180
Then by the Subtraction Prop. of Equality:
7x=63
Then divide by 7 on both sides to get that x=9.

We then substitute 9 into angle DBC.
4(9)+50
=36+50
DBC=86

A class takes a math test. 12 students scored 84 or higher. If 75% of the class scored below 84, how many students are in this c

I want to say 48 bc if 12 is 25 percent then its 1/4 of the students in the class and 12 times 4 is 48
