Midpoint: (64+72)/2 = 136/2 = 68\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The midpoint of the temperature range is 68 degrees. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t is some unknown temp. The difference between the unknown temp and the midpoint is 68-t and it's forced to be positive when we write |68-t|\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice how 72 - 68 = 4 and 68 - 64 = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the temps can't fluctuate more than 4 degrees, which means the final answer is |68 - t| < 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
