+444 A publisher claims that the average salary paid at its company is $37,500 but it could differ as much as $4,500. Write and solve an absolute value inequality to determine the range of salaries at this company.
My option's
|x − 37500| ≤ 4500; The salaries range from $33,000 to $42,000
|x − 37,500| ≤ 4500; The salaries are less than $33,000 or greater than $42,000.
|x − 37500| ≥ 4500; The salaries range from $33,000 to $42,000
|x − 37,500| ≥ 4500; The salaries are less than $33,000 or greater than $42,000.
I'm having trouble figuring thes eout in general and what the question ask's may I please have an explanitory explination on what is going on?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE TIME YOU SPEND HELPING ME IT'S REALLY APPRICATED!
+129852 OK, HL.....
The salaries could be as much as $4500 less than $37,500 which means that the salaries could be as little as
$37,500 -$4500 = $33,000
Or..
The salaries could be as much as $4500 more than $37,500 = $37,500 + $4500 = $42,000
So
The salries could range from $33,000 to $42000 and lx - 37,5000 l ≤ $4500 is correct [ the first answer ]
