Im 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 participantep explanation
Answer:
x ≥ -5
Step-by-step explanation:
15≥-3x
<em>switch sides</em>
<em>-3x≤15</em>
<em>Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)</em>
<em>(-3x)(-1)≥15(-1)</em>
<em>Simplify</em>
<em>3x≥-15</em>
<em>Divide both sides by 3</em>
<em>3x/3≥ -15/3</em>
<em>Simplify</em>
<em>x≥ -5</em>
