The inequality

abs%28x-a%29%3C=b

means x is a number whose distance from a is less than or equal to b.

Stated differently, x is a number that is within b of a.

In your problem, Carlos wants his grade to be between 75 and 85. That means he wants the grade to be within 5 points of 80.

Fill in the numbers a and b so that

abs%28x-a%29%3C=b

describes the numbers that are within 5 of 80.
