Question 1134918: Could someone help with how to properly word the following:

Distance of 10 units from the number 4

I'd say "The set of x values such that the distance from x to 4 is less than or equal to 10"

The mathematical equation for this situation is:
+abs%28+x+-+4+%29+%3C=+10+

and in interval notation x is in the interval: [ +-6+, 14+ ], using square brackets to indicate the endpoints ARE included.
