-30= 5 (x+1 )
-5 from 5= 0
-5 from -30= -35
-35= (x+1)
1/-35= -35
Solve for t. Simply sense its +1, do the opposite and minus 1 from both sides of the equation. +1 - 1 = 0; -3 -1 = -4. Therefore, t = -4 is the correct solution.
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply
45=9x
solve for x by dividing 9 to get x alone
5=x
I'm not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participants
