<h3>Answers:     x = -17  and   x = 64</h3>

====================================================

Explanation

Consider three scenarios:

  • A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
  • B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
  • C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.

These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.

--------------------

We'll start with scenario A.

If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}

The range is 56, so,

range = max - min

56 = 39 - x

56+x= 39

x = 39-56

x = -17  which is one possible answer

--------------------

If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min

range = max - min

56 = x - 8

56+8 = x

64 = x

x = 64 is the other possible answer

--------------------

Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.

Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.

Convert:<br> 2 miles 500 feet
Fed [463]
I think you want to convert it all to feet.

1 mile = 5,280 feet

2 miles = 5,280 × 2

5,280 × 2 = 10,560 feet

10,560 + 500 = 11,060 feet

2 miles and 500 feet is equal to 11,060 feet
