Please help me with this problem: If 75+%3C+%28x-2%29%2F3+%3C+76, what is one possible value of %28x-2%29%2F6?

If 75+%3C+%28x-2%29%2F3+%3C+76

Multiply all three sides by red%281%2F2%29 to get %28x-2%29%2F6 in the middle:



75%2F2+%3C+%28x-2%29%2F6+%3C+76%2F2

37%261%2F2%3C%28x-2%29%2F6%3C38

One value would be a number between 37%261%2F2 and 38.

Such a number is 37%263%2F4 or expressed as an improper fraction 151%2F4
