A nuclear reactor shuts down automatically if the temperature in the reactor differs from 1200 degrees Faherenhite by more than 30 degrees. For what temperatures will the reactor continue to operate?
-------------
Let "x" be a termperature at which the reactor will operate.
-------------
INEQUALITY:
|x-1200|<=30
-30<= x-1200 <=30
Add 1200 along the line to get:
1170 <= x <= 1230
