Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:

Fourteen more than three times a number is 2.

1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14

2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)

3. is 2 ---> = 2

So combining these, we get:

3x + 14 = 2

Solving this to get:

3x = 2 - 14

3x = -12

x = -12/3

x = -4

The regression equation y = -0.414x + 106.55 approximates the percent of people in an

murzikaleks [220]

The correct option will be: A. 67%

Explanation

Given equation is: $y = -0.414x + 106.55$ , where $x$ is the length of the film in minutes and $y$ is the percentage of people finish watching the film.

Here, the length of the documentary is given as 95 minutes. So, we will plug $x=95$ into the above equation and get....

$y=-0.414(95)+106.55\\ \\ y=-39.33+106.55\\ \\ y=67.22 \approx 67$

(Rounded to the nearest percent)

So, the percentage of people in an audience who will finish watching a documentary that is 95 minutes long will be 67%

P=3 and p=-1
First you subtract the number without a variable to the other side, so subtract one from seven, and subtract five from eight. After that just divide to make p by its self and you get the answer!!
