Use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem uses the following formula:

Plug in the known values into the equation:



Subtract both sides by 36.

Square root both sides to get b by itself.


The value of x is 8.
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.
1) 2x + 9 = 2x -5
9 ≠ -5 ; No solution
2) 2x- 1 = x + 3
x = 4; One solution x = 4
3) x + 2 = x + 2
0 = 0; Identity (or all real numbers)
Do you have paper and a pen on you this is very simple to workout The first one is 4 and the other one is 3587.5 and the last one is <span>8.0992869</span>
