Acertain organization wants to know the opinion of the adult residents, 35 years of age or older, of the xxx city with a total population of 55,000 about lowering the drinking age to 18

0.7 +/- 0.0635 is the answer. The confidence interval is

p±1.96√p(1−p)/n

p = 140/200 = 0.7 (the proportion in favor of lowering the drinking age) n = the sample size, 200 1.96 is the critical value for a 95% confidence interval, from the z-table (standard normal distribution)

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
