|x - 73| > 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x represents the current price of the stock.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when (x-73) is positive, the equation becomes (x - 73) > 14 which results in x > 87.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this makes sense since 87 - 73 = 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when (x-73) is negative, the equation becomes (x - 73) < -14 (the inequality is reversed and the right side of the expression changes sign) which results in x < 59.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this makes sense since 73 - 59 = 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the inequality can be represented as x < 59 or x > 73\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means that you want to sell the stock when the price goes below 59 or the price goes above 87.\r
