The correct answer is the choice that you have selected, the third choice.
When, we are looking at the residuals for a regression line, we always want to see the points balance like in the third choice. This means that the equation that we found is right in the middle of the points.
Answer:
18. g= -3
19. x= -1
20. n= 3
21. p= -1
22. d= -3
23. a= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
how to solve the variable (using 18 as an example)
step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.
20+g+g=14
(g+g)+(20)=14(combine like terms)
2g+20=14
2g+20=14
step 2: subtract 20 from both sides.
2g+20−20=14−20
2g=−6
step 3: divide both sides by 2.
2g/2 = -6/2
x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.
since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.
