document.write( "Question 1093012: To determine height from skeletal remains, scientist use the equation H=2.26f+66.4, where h is the persons height in centimeters and f is the skeltons fémur length in centímeters the equation has a marginal of error of 3.42 centimeters. In a recent discovey the femur measured 51.6 centimeters. Write and solve inequality to find the range of possible heights. Please I dont know how to start. \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The way I read it is: If you plug in some value for the femur length
\n" ); document.write( "( f ), then whatever you compute for $\"+H+\"$ , the true value could
\n" ); document.write( "be as much as $\"+3.42+\"$ cm higher or lower than that
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+f+=+51.6+\"$ cm
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+=+2.26%2A51.6+%2B+66.4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+=+116.616+%2B+66.4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+=+183.02+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+%2B+3.42+=+183.02+%2B+3.42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+%2B+3.42+=+186.44+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+-+3.42+=+183.02+-+3.42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+-+3.42+=+179.6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+H+\"$ can be equal to or larger than the lower limit,
\n" ); document.write( "but must be less than or equal to the upper limit
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+179.6+%3C=+H+%3C=+186.44+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Get another opinion if you choose
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
