3x+7= x-1 does x = -4?

1 answer:

8 0

Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

nordsb [41]

Answer: Stratified sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling is a random sampling method in which the population is divided into non-coinciding groups are called strata and a sample is picked out by some design within each stratum.

Given: A researcher wants to survey people from different age groups to analyze voting patterns.

Thus he will make different groups according to different ages to analyze voting patterns that are called stratum.

Thus, Stratified sampling best accomplish this goal.
