The correct way to solve this equation would be:
7=5+3(x-4)
Distribute the Brackets.
3*x=3x
3*4=12
7=5+3x-12
Add like terms.
7=-7+3x
Add 7 to both sides.
(7)+7=(-7+3x)+7
14=3x
Divide both sides by 3.
(14)/3=(3x)/3
4.6667 or 14/3 =x

Both answers are incorrect.
Some the significant mistakes:
-Didn't follow BEDMAS
-How did 7=8(x-4) turn into 78=x-4?

Hope this helps.

Answer:

No, because the sample was randomly selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, the main element that we need to focus on is the way in which the sample was determined. We learn that the sample was taken in California with 1000 people. However, this sample was random, and the survey was conducted in both English and Spanish. The fact that this was a random sample means that it is representative of the population. The size of the population does not affect the accuracy of a random sample.
