= 
Answer:
D. Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Key goal is to have x on one side while the other value to the right. By subtracting 14x on both sides, you would get x+6=5. You would finally subtract 6 on both sides, not 5, to get the x by itself, thus x=-1.
Answer: Interviewer-induced bias
Step-by-step explanation:
The example given in the question illustrates the Interviewer-induced bias. This occurs when the situation created by the interviewer is such that the respondent will have to give the kind f answer that the interviewer wants to hear.
For example, in the question, we can deduce that the interviewers told the interviewees that they won't be investigated and the gave bias replies based on that.
