Answer:

x=-5 or -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 = 2x + 1

Subtract x from both sides canceling out the x on the left, getting...

-4 = x + 1

Then subtract the 1 from both sides canceling out the 1 on the right, getting...

-5 = x

Subtracting x from 2x gets you 1x which you just write as x because there is only one x. Doing the equation from the other side will still get you the same answer and I will show you.

x - 4 = 2x + 1

-x - 4 = 1

-x = 5

x = -5

Hope this helps!

The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 oun

Ugo [173]

Answer: A) .1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce.

i.e. $\mu=12.30$ and $\sigma=0.20$

Let x denotes the amount of soda in any can.

Every can that has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it must go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected can will need to go through the mentioned process = probability that a randomly selected can has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it =

$P(x>12.50)=1-P(x\leq12.50)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{12.50-12.30}{0.20})\\\\=1-P(z\leq1)\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.8413\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.1587$

Hence, the required probability= A) 0.1587
