Given the inequality 175 ≤ 3x - 17 ≤ 187, where x represents the height of the driver in inches.

Then:[tex]175+17\leq3x\leq187+17 \\ \\ \Rightarrow192\leq3x\leq204 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{192}{3} \leq x\leq \frac{204}{3} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 64\leq x \leq 68[/tex]

Therefore, the range for the height of an Indy car driver is 64 to 68.

Answer:

Solving for x : 64-68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve for x

So:

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 so we can isolate the x

192/3  ≤ 3x/3 ≤ 204/3.

64 ≤ x ≤ 68.

Therefore:

The range height for the height of an Indy car driver is 64-68 inches.

Hope this helps.
