Answer:

Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the poll has a +/- 3% margin of error, the minimum and maximum possible percentages for each candidate are:

(44% - 3%) ≤ Jones ≤ (44% + 3%)

41% ≤ Jones ≤ 47%

(54% - 3%) ≤ Smith ≤ (54% + 3%)

51% ≤ Smith ≤ 57%

This means that, even in the worst possible scenario for Congressman Smith, he would still beat Jones with 51% against 47% of the votes. The pollster can safely predict that Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones .

klemol [59]

Answer:

The correct order of the steps is CEABD ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us arrange the figures

To construct a bisector of an angle

First: Draw angle AOB

First step is figure C

Second: Place the pin of the compass on point O and draw an arc intersects the two sides of the angle OA and OB at points D and E

Second step is figure E

Third: Place the compass on point D and draw an arc in the interior of the angle

Third step is figure A

Fourth: without change the open of the compass place its pin on point E and draw an arc which intersects the arc drawn from point D at point C

Fourth step is figure B

Fifth: Draw a line from point A to point C, this line AC is the bisector of angle AOB

Fifth step is figure D

The correct order of the steps is CEABD

Nata [24]

Answer:

Let x represents the week and y represents the amount of money.

As per the given statement:

Diego has $11 and begins $5 each week toward buying a new phone.

⇒               ......[1]

It is also given that Lin $60 and begins spending $2 per week.

⇒               ....[2]

when they have the same amount.

equate [1] and [2] we get;

Add both sides 2x we get;

Subtract 11 from both sides we get;

Divide both sides by 7 we get;

x = 7

Substitute the value of x = 7 in [1] we have;

Therefore, at x= 7 week they have the same amount of money and they  have the amount at that time, $ 46
