You can put this solution on YOUR website! A tool and die shop makes a metal pull tab for a pop can. The length of the tab is 1.2 inches. The measurement may have an error of as much as 0.002 inches. Write an absolute value inequality that shows the range of the possible lengths of the tabs. Solve the inequality
----------------------
|x - 1.2| <= 0.002
-0.002 + 1.2 <= x <= 0.002 + 1.2
1.198 <= x <= 1.202
