3x + 1 = 3(x - 1) + 4

Simplifying

3x + 1 = 3[x + -1] + 4

Reorder the terms:

1 + 3x = 3[x + -1] + 4

Reorder the terms:

1 + 3x = 3[-1 + x] + 4

1 + 3x = [-1 * 3 + x * 3] + 4

1 + 3x = [-3 + 3x] + 4

Reorder the terms:

1 + 3x = -3 + 4 + 3x

Combine like terms: -3 + 4 = 1

1 + 3x = 1 + 3x

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + 3x = 1 + -1 + 3x

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + 3x = 1 + -1 + 3x

3x = 1 + -1 + 3x

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

3x = 0 + 3x

3x = 3x

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

3x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

0 = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

0 = 0

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

i am unable to solve this problem

step-by-step explanation:

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
