Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.
SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"
that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.
Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.
-4/4 can be reduced to -2.
(-8/4) can be reduced to -1.
What you have to do next is to add -1-(-2).
The final answer is 1.
Hope that helps!!!.

Answer:
x = 31, x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of company A=monthlyfee+text=20+0.03t where t=number of texts
A=20+0.03t
company b is monthlyfee+texts=5+0.07t
B=5+0.07t
1.
c=20+0.03t
c=5+0.07t
using c for cost is confusing because we can't tell which is for which company
2.
equal, means the costs are equal so
20+0.03t=5+0.07t
minus 5 from both sides
15+0.03t=0.07t
minus 0.03t from both sides
15=0.04t
divide both sides by 0.04
375=t
the answer is 375 texts
