A cereal bar is listed as containing 200 calories. A laboratory tested a sample of the bars and found that the actual calorie content varied as much as 28 calories. Write and solve an absolute value inequality for the calorie intake of the bars.
-----
|200-x| <= 28
------
-28 <= 200-x <= 28
-------
-228 <= -x <= -172
-----
172 <= x <= 228
