Your thinking of the number 69
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.
Umm.. I have to see the problems, we might not have the same textbooks so
- Simplify ⇨ 19m + 14 - 3 (3m + 7)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 3m+7.
Combine 19m and -9m to get 10m.
Subtract 21 from -14 to get -35.
Answer:
1/4w -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/2w +3) -(1/4w +4) = w(1/2 -1/4) +(3 -4)
= 1/4w -1

The distributive property applies. It is useful for distributing the minus sign and for collecting terms.
