<span>We know that
there is no universal acceptance meaning of a percentile. When someone told you
that you are in the 80th percentile, the meaning of that is you
have achieved the lowest score that is greater than 80 percent of the score. It is calculated by using the formula <span>R = P/100 x (N + 1)</span></span>
15-b=4b-5(5-3)
Multiply the bracket by -5
(-5)(5)=-25
(-5)(-3)=15
15-b=4b-25+15
15-b=4b-10
Move 15 to the other side
Sign changes from +15 to -15
15-15-b=4b-10-15
-b=4b-25
Move 4b to the other side.
-b-4b=4b-4b-25
-b-4b=-25
-5b=-25
divide both sides by -5
-5b/-5=-25/-5
Answer: b=5
Well .03 is equal to 3/100 so it is already in simplest form
108 = ( x)(48-x)
108 = 48x - x^2
48x -x^2 -108 = 0
I'm assuming you're doing solve the square right now, so you should be able to do the rest.
