Alex's weight is 2 pounds less than twice his son's weight. Alex weighs 174 pounds. How much does his son weigh?

133 ≤ x ≤ 148

We first take Corey's weight off of the total:

405-127 = 278

The other two boys together weigh 278.

We know that Alex weighs no more than 145 and no less than 130. Taking these two numbers off of the 278 will give us the constraints for Carl's weight:

278-145 = 133

278-130 = 148

This means that 133 ≤ x ≤ 148

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12

answer: i guess 5 units?
