Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, we are given a number, n, which is then added to 15 less than 3 times itself.
Let's break this apart.
n will be added to (+) 15 less (-) than 3 times itself (x)
3 times itself would be 3n, and 15 less than 3 times itself (3n) would be 3n - 15.
n is added to this value: n + 3n - 15 = 4n - 15
Now we need to put this into an equation, where the expression we created will be equal to a number, which is given to be 101.
4n - 15 = 101 <-- This is the equation that would be used to find the value of n.
I hope this helps!
