----
absolute value is not an issue
----------------
13 <= T <= 33

The range is from 13 to 33.
The middle of the range is 23.
The distance from the middle to either extreme is 10.

ANSWER:

That absolute value equation says

"the difference between the temperature and 23 degrees is at most 10 degrees"

or, in more common language,

"the temperature is within 10 degrees of 23 degrees"
