<PRE><B>Question 156243</B>
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. 
please describe how you did this or show your work for my future reference
--------------------------------------
The weights may be between 397-10 and 397+10
Let the weights be &quot;x&quot;
INEQUALITY 397-10 &lt;= x &lt;=397+10
Subtract 397 along the line to get:
-10 &lt;= x-397 &lt;= +10
Change to absolute value notation:
|x-397| &lt;= 10
