When talking about surveys (and most other things) we use 100% as the cap. You can not work harder than 100% efficiency and you can not have more than 100% of people agree with you. You can think of this as a pie.

A whole pie would be 100%
A half a pie 50%
Etc.

You can not have more than a whole pie (without adding another pie or variable in this case)

So when you look at this problem with that analogy in mind, all it is is simple addition and subtraction. 

If you create a survey and 82% of people vote yes, how many, out of 100%, voted yes.

To find this we take 100% (The whole pie or everybody who voted) and - the portion of the pie we ate or everyone who voted yes, 82%, which will give us the answer, everyone who voted no or the pie that is left on the platter.

So your equation would be 100 - 82 =18

18% of people interview used internet someplace other than in the home. <span />

Solve by factoring:<br><br> 5x^2 + 19x + 12 = 0
Mariulka [41]

When solving polynomial equations, first set the equation

equal to zero, then check for a Greatest Common Factor.

Since there is no greatest common factor, this will make life a

little bit more difficult because we will have to factor the trinomial.

First, find all possible factors for constant term.

I have listed these in red below.

Make sure to reverse the factors since in each binomial,

the first term is different so we need to reverse the factors.

The factors of 5x² will just be 5x and z.

After finding factors for the constant and the leading

coefficient for your trinomial, we can eliminate some factors.

If you have an odd coefficient on the middle term,

you can eliminate any pairs of even factors.

So the group I crossed out in purple below will be eliminated.

Another strategy is to use factors a little closer together.

So I would go with the 4 and 3 group.

Surely enough, our trinomial does factor with the 4 and 3.

Now set the factored trinomial equal to 0.

Then use zero product property and you have your answer.
