Plotting multiple functions in one plot - maple

Question

Simple question which is bugging me quite a bit.

In maple I'm trying to graph 3 normal distributions, each one being a shift of the other.

I run the following code in maple and then get the following plot

plots[multiple](plot, [exp(-(x-4)^2), x = -5 .. 5], [exp(-(x-12)^2), x = -5 .. 5], [exp(-(x-20)^2), x = -100 .. 100]);

Which is an issue. I don't see what I did wrong. Can someone shed light on this?

I don't understand the close votes. To quote the help center immediately after "We welcome questions about:"
Software that mathematicians use (except Mathematica, which has its own Stack Exchange site).

Sounds like a Maple question is pretty on topic. Why else do we even have a "maple" or "math-software" tag? — , Sep 08 '16 at 14:30
@tilper the tag is for questions about mathematics in Maple. I would say a good example is Why doesn't $z^n*(\frac{a+b}{z})^n = (a+b)^n$ always hold?. For the programming part of Maple, the Maple tag at StackOverflow is more appropriate. — Therkel, Sep 08 '16 at 19:15
@Therkel: Your proposed "good" Question is purely mathematical; it has nothing at all to do with Maple. — Carl Love, Sep 09 '16 at 09:09

I think you should change the intervals:

[> with(plots):
   a := plot(exp(-(x-4)^2), x = -5 .. 15, color = blue):
   b := plot(exp(-(x-12)^2), x = -5 .. 15, color = red):
   c := plot(exp(-(x-20)^2), x = -10 .. 30, color = green):
   display(a, b, c);

Perfect, thank you for the help - I see I was overlapping. – Vogtster Sep 08 '16 at 12:34
