A manufacturer gets parts from four suppliers (call them A, B, C, and D). A random sample of 998 parts is selected from shipments by each supplier. In the samples, Supplier A has 21 defects, Supplier B has 14 defects, Supplier C has 8 defects, and Supplier D has 17 defects. Does this suggest any difference between the quality of parts provided by these suppliers

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
