Answer:

A . x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\\frac{2}{3}x+1=\frac{1}{6}x-7\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x+1-1=\frac{1}{6}x-7-1\\\\\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{6}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8-\frac{1}{6}x\\\\= \frac{1}{2}x=-8\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:2}\\\\2\times \frac{1}{2}x=2\left(-8\right)\\\\x=-16$

Answer:

Add 3/4 to both sides (the last option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you want to isolate f and the expression on one side is f - 3/4, you have to add 3/4 so that the -3/4 cancels out. When you do that, you also have to add 3/4 to the other side so that the equation stays balanced.

The weights of the chocolate in Hershey Kisses are normally distributed with a mean of 4.5338 g and a standard deviation of 0.10

dusya [7]

The distribution is not a standard normal distribution.

We know that the variable (X) usually obeys and follows a standard normal distribution provided that the summation of (X) is zero and the variance of the random variable V(X) = 1.

Mathematically:

E(X) = 0 and V(X) = 1

Given that;
