<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When there is a linear relationship is observed between the variables, we use linear regression predict the relationship between them.

Also, we predict the values for dependent variable by modelling a linear model that best fits the data by drawing a line Y=a+bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable.

In other words: The line of best fit is a line through a scatter plot of data points that best describes the relationship between them.

That's why the regression line referred to as the line of best fit.

-3(1-2x)-3=-20-8x what is the work and answer

larisa86 [58]

You have to keep order of operations in mind.

1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x

2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14

3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
