The length of a standard basketball court can vary from 84 feet to 94 feet, inclusive. Write an absolute value inequality that describes the possible lengths of a standard basketball court.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the length of the basketball court.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the midpoint between 84 and 94 which is 89
\n" ); document.write( "The interval for \"x\" must roam between 84 and 94
\n" ); document.write( "which means it must be within 5 of the midpoint.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Absolute value describes distance so you have this:
\n" ); document.write( "The distance of x from 89 is less than or equal to 5.
\n" ); document.write( "|x-89|<=5
\n" ); document.write( "====================
