Question 1141852:  Hello, 
I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me with 2 solutions. It deals with Statistics and the sampling distribution of x. I'm not sure how to indicate it but the x should have a bar above the x . Here are the problems:
 
-1.28 = x-13.1/1.014185 (The answer should be 11.8 but I not sure of the proper steps to get it)
 
-1.28 = x-21.5/.521775 (The answer should be 20.6)
 
Thank you very much!

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! for the first, multiply both sides by 1.014185.  Then move the 13.1 over by adding it to both sides. 
-1.28=(x-13.1)/1.014185 
answer is x=11.80
 
Second is -1.28=(x-21.5)/0.521775  
 
 
do it the same way, by multiplying both sides by 0.521775 then adding 21.5 
this gives 20.83 
If for some reason the second one is a 90% CI with z=1.645, and one is using the left interval, then the answer would be 20.64 or 20.6
