You can put this solution on YOUR website! A box of cereal shouldweigh 397 g. the quality control inspector weighs every 50th box. The inspector rejects any box that is not wthin 10 g of the ideal weights. write and solve an absolute value inequality for this situation.

--------------------------------------
The weights may be between 397-10 and 397+10
Let the weights be "x"
INEQUALITY 397-10 <= x <=397+10
Subtract 397 along the line to get:
-10 <= x-397 <= +10
Change to absolute value notation:
|x-397| <= 10
