.

    T%5Bmin%5D = T%5Baverage%5D - 6.4 = 58.2 - 6.4 seconds.

    T%5Bmax%5D = T%5Baverage%5D + 6.4 = 58.2 + 6.4 seconds.



Or it can be expressed as one absolute value equation


     abs%28T+-+T%5Baverage%5D%29 = 6.4 seconds.

     abs%28T+-+58.2%29 = 6.4 seconds,


where T is either  T%5Bmin%5D  or  T%5Bmax%5D.
