Answer: 70 and -16
==========================================================
Explanation:
For now, we'll assume x is the largest value (aka the max)
Let's sort the values from smallest to largest.
7, 20, 26, 27, 34, 41, 47, x
We see that 7 is the smallest item, so,
range = max - min = x - 7
Set this equal to 63 and solve for x
x-7 = 63
x = 63+7
x = 70
So x could be equal to 70.
---------------------------
Next, we'll assume that x is the smallest value
That means the min is x and 47 is now the max
max - min = range
47 - x = 63
-x = 63-47
-x = 16
x = -16
So if x is the smallest value, then it must be -16
----------------------------
Finally, we'll let x be somewhere between 7 and 47
Unfortunately, we can't pin down a specific value here since we could have lots of possible values. Three such examples are x = 8, x = 9, and x = 10. There are many others.
If your teacher is looking for 2 values only, then I would refer to the previous two sections and ignore this section entirely.
