You can divide 50 by 5 (2+(1.50x2)) 50/5 is 10 10x + 20y.
Happy studying ^-^
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.
Answer:
t = pn
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the relationship between total cost and the number of items.
First we would represent the relationship between total cost and number of items with variables
Let the total cost = t
and the number of items = n
Total cost t is proportional to the number n of items:
t ∝ n
t = kn
where k is constant
Since it is purchased at a constant price p, the constant of proportionality would be p. the k would be replaced with p
t = pn
2c + b = 37 ....multiply by -3
4c + 3b = 81
------------------
-6c - 3b = - 111 (result of multiplying by -3)
4c + 3b = 81
------------------add
-2c = - 30
c = -30/-2
c = 15 <== $ 15 for a can of paint
and it costs $ 7 for each brush
