267 x 0.02 = 5.34
267 + 5.34 = 272.34
267 x 0.08 = 21.36
267 - 21.36 = 245.64
267 + 272.34 + 245.64 = $784.98
3x +2= 5x
-3x
2= 2x
/2
1= x
So first I got all the x’s on one side and the whole numbers on the other side. So we had 2 on one side and 2x on the other. From there we divided by the number of x’s which was 2 so we can get one x only. So 2/2= 1 so x =1
The mistake she made was timesing the 6 by the -7.5 as there is no x after the 6
Therefore:
-3.8(-7.5) +6
28.5+6 =34.5
Answer:
14/24 ( simplified = 7/12)
Step-by-step explanation:
to find this we multiply the fractions 2/3 and 7/8
7/8 x 2/3 = 14/24
So Shannon ate 14/24 lb
You can simplify to = 7/12
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.
