To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
</span> When you solve for bx, you have:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13
When you solve for b, you obtain:
</span><span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)
When yoo solve for x:
</span>2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)<span>
</span>
Answer:
3 < x < 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 sides then the possible range of the third side x is
difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is
10 - 7 < x < 10 + 7
3 < x < 17
165 - 57 and divide that by 2. So that would be 54
