Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The range is the y values of the function from the least to the greatest. To find it find the furthest point up and down. Draw a horizontal line from the point to the y-axis to identify the y value. Here the function extends from -3 to 6. So the range is 
.
Start by adding together the shortest two sides, 7 and 8.7 inches. Result: 15.7 inches. Because this sum is greater than the longest side, 15.4 inches, it's possible to construct a triangle, whose largest angle will be close to 180 degrees.
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
