We have

.
We add 6 to both sides.

.
Now, to solve for

, we factor out and divide by a 9 to get

.
Answer:
(b) 4,445
Step-by-step explanation:
If the researcher would like to be 95% sure that the obtained sample proportion would be within 1.5% of p (the proportion in the entire population of U.S. adults), what sample size should be used?
Given a=0.05, |Z(0.025)|=1.96 (check standard normal table)
So n=(Z/E)^2*p*(1-p)
=(1.96/0.015)^2*0.5*0.5
=4268.444
Take n=4269
Answer:(b) 4,445
lets solve for x
flip the equation
add-4 to both sides
divide both sides by 3
x=1/3y+-4/3
People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
