<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.

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
