Question 1093012: To determine height from skeletal remains, scientist use the equation H=2.26f+66.4, where h is the persons height in centimeters and f is the skeltons fémur length in centímeters the equation has a marginal of error of 3.42 centimeters. In a recent discovey the femur measured 51.6 centimeters. Write and solve inequality to find the range of possible heights. Please I dont know how to start.

The way I read it is: If you plug in some value for the femur length
( f ), then whatever you compute for , the true value could
be as much as cm higher or lower than that
------------------------------------------------------------
given:
cm
and
and
--------------------------------
can be equal to or larger than the lower limit,
but must be less than or equal to the upper limit
