4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1

Get just one variable on one side for both equations.

4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y

Use the transitive property and then solve for x.

x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the standard deviation is $9000 and the margin of error is $500.

-the minimum sample size at a 95% confidence level can be calculated using the formula:

$n\geq( \frac{z\sigma}{MOE})^2\\\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 9000}{500})^2\\\\\\\geq 1244.6784\approx 1245$
