The attendence at home basketball games has ranged between 820 and 1540 spectators. Write an absolute value inequality descibing the possible attendance at home basketball games.
------------
Find the average attendance figure: (820+1540)/2 = 1180
------------
Find the difference between average and max (or min). 1540-1180 = 360
----------------------------
Equation:
|x-1180| <= 360
x is the possible attendance at home basketball games.
