A museum employee surveys a random sample of 350 visitors to the museum. Of those visitors, 266 stopped at the gift shop. Based on these results, about how many people out of 2,300 visitors to the museum would be expected to stop at the gift shop?

1748.

Step-by-step explanation: This is because 266 is 76% of 350, so 76% of 2300 is 1748.

Hope that helped you out!

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
