According to a height and weight chart, Bruce's ideal wrestling weight is 168 pounds. Bruce

wants to keep his weight within 3 pounds of his ideal weight. Let x equal Bruce's actual
weight. Solve the equation 1x – 168] = 3 to find Bruce's maximum and minimum weights.

Super simple

So he wants to be three pounds away from his ideal weight (168)

Which means he can either be 3 pounds under or 3 pounds over

So his min is 165, his max is 171
