the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

Answer:
7y
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property:
4x+12y=6x-2y
2x=14y
x=7y
Answer:
Population is the total number of people that fall into the description of those that the research concerns.
In this case, Population is: Everyone who signed a card saying that they intend to quit smoking.
Sample. This is a subset of the population that the research is based on.
Sample = 1,000 people surveyed.
Parameter and Statistic are both descriptive measures but parameter is for the population and statistic is for the sample.
Parameter = Percentage of total population who have not smoked in 6 months.
Statistic = 21% of sample who have not smoked in 3 months.
The answer might be 3.5 because i am pretty sure it is not a repeating decimal
