Translate each distance into an absolute value equation or inequality.
a.the distance between x and 0 is 15 units
|x| = 15
----------------
b. the distance between w and 15 is 10 units
|w-15|=10
-----------------
c. the distance between y and -9 is greater than or equal to 2 units
|y+9| >= 2
-----------------
d. the distance between 3x and -7 is less than 4 units
|3x+7| < 4
================
Cheers,
