\n" ); document.write( "Think of |a-b| as the distance from a to b. Then the statement
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x-a%29%3C=b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "means the distance between x and a is at most b.

\n" ); document.write( "So for your example \"the distance between x and -14 is at most 14\" becomes
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x-%28-14%29%29%3C=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x%2B14%29%3C=14\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
