So, you need to do the same operation to each side.
Start out by subtracting 3 from each side
1/4 (20x+8) = -3
Then, multiply both sides by 4
40x+8 = -12
Then, subtract 8 from each side
40x = -20
divide both sides by 40 and you get
x=-1/2

Hope this helped!

The first thing you should do is distribute 1/4 into (20x+8). You should do this first because of the order of operations:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

5x+2+3=0

Add 2 and 3 together

5x+5=0

Subtract 5 from each side.

5x=-5

Finally, divide each side by 5

x=-1

To check our answer, substitute -1 in as x

1/4(20(-1)+8)+3=0
1/4(-20+8)+3=0
1/4(-12)+3=0
-3+3=0
0=0

x=-1

Hope this helped! Tell me if you have any other questions! :)

Rufina [12.5K]

In these types of tables, the final box, bottom rightmost, is always the main total. This total will always add up to the same number whether you add the column or the row.

Let find it for this problem.

We can get the grand total from adding the 2 number from the row or the column.

<em>If we add column, we get, 48+118=166.</em>

<em>If we add row, we get, 69+97=166.</em>

So, our total is 166. 166 people were polled.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Descriptive statistics gives certain information about the data that helps us understand it better. For example, If you have a data set containing the number of customers that visit a shopping mall per day, the proportion of male customers or the average number of customers over period of time are some examples of descriptive statistics.

Inferential statistics uses sample data from a larger population to make certain inferences and draw conclusions about that population based on some standard procedures. Some examples of methods in inferential statistics are, Confidence intervals, Hypothesis Testing and Regression analysis
