Answer:
9.4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 lines parallel, and 2 triangles have a common angle
So the smaller Δ is similar to the bigger Δ (AA Similarity)
9:(4x-2)+9=12:(3x+2)+12
9:4x+7=12:3x+14
9(3x+14)=12(4x+7)
27x+126=48x+84
21x=42
x=2
So the answer is x=2
Answer:
Around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Proportion of US residents who thinks marijuana should be made legal = 48%

We have to construct a 95% confidence interval.
Margin of error = 2% = 0.02
Formula for margin of error =


Putting values, we get,

Thus, around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.
Example:

This suggests two solutions,

and

.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

which checks out, but

does not because

is defined only for

(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call

an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is

.
