I'm 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 participants
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−5=23
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)
3x+−15+−5=23
(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−20=23
3x−20=23
Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.
3x−20+20=23+20
3x=43
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
/3 = 43

Answer: 49
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing constant term in the perfect square is 49.
x^2 + 14x + 49
We need a squart root of something to make the factor add up equal to 14x. If it's a perfect square, we could divide 14 by 2, 14/2 = 7, and we multiply 7^2, we get 49, which is a perfect square.
