Answer:
A) 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The total of all the volumes is ...
(x -1) + (x) + (x +1) = (1+1+1)x +(-1+1) = 3x+0 = 3x . . . . . matches choice A
Alright, so here, we can simply divide 0.75/3=0.25 due to that we need to find that we need to find the unit rate of each pound, and we have 3, so we need to divide by 3
1) Mean
The mean is given by the sum of the data divided by the number of data (4, in this case):

2) Standard deviation
The standard deviation is given by:

where

is the mean, that we already found at point 1), and N=4. Substituting data, we have:

Let w = washer and d = dryer:
w + d = $770,
but w = d + 70, replace w with d+70
(d+70) + d = 770
2d + 70 =770
2d = 770 -70 = 700
and d=$350, then w=350+70 = 420
