Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for x:

−3(x+8) = −21

Distribute the -3 over the parentheses:

-3x - 24 = -21

Add 24 to both sides:

-3x -24 + 24 = -21 + 24

-3x = 3

Divide both sides by -3:

x = -1.

So that proves the original equation.

Answer:

Yes, this is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitue x for -1 you get -3(-1+8)=-21, Then you add -1 and 8 so you should get 7. After, you multiply 7 times -3 you get -21. Proving this statement is correct.

Answer:

p(7) = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a function, all you have to do is input 7 for x like so:

p(x)=x^2+x+1 ---------------> p(7)=7^2+7+1

so 49 + 8

The median is a halfway point in the set of data.

List the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

111, 129, 144, 149, 152, 162, 166, 171

Because there are an even number of values in the data set, find the two middle numbers, add them together and then divide by 2:

Median = ( 149 + 152 ) /2

Median = 150.5
