-8.8 - (16.5) =
-8.8 + 16.5 =
7.7 <==
Given inequality : 175 ≤ 3x-17 ≤ 187, where x represents the height of the driver in inches.
Let us solve the inequality for x.
We have 17 is being subtracted in the middle.
Reverse operation of subtraction is addition. So, adding 17 on both sides and also in the middle, we get
175+17 ≤ 3x-17+17 ≤ 187+17
192 ≤ 3x ≤ 204.
Dividing by 3.
192/3 ≤ 3x/3 ≤ 204/3.
64 ≤ x ≤ 68.
Therefore, the height of the driver should be from 64 to 68 inches to fit into the race car.
Answer:
B is the answer because yes
Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.
I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.
Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.
Hope this helps!

x represents the length, since the formula to find area of a rectangle is width times length.
