You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if i understand this correctly, the student cannot go more than 17 notes higher and no more than 17 notes lower than the middle C.
---
i believe the following equation will satisfy that.
---
|x| <= 17
---
this means that:
---
x is smaller than or equal to 17
---
and
---
x is greater than or equal to -17
