i have a question, here it goes, A butcher's scale is accurate to within 0.05 pound. A sirloin steak weights 1.14 pounds on this scale. Solve the inequality: lx-1.14l<_0.05. What does the solution interval represent?

to solve: |x - 1.14 |<.05 -.05< x - 1.14 < .05 1.09<x<1.19 the inequality says that the distance between x and 1.14 is less than or equal to .05 which in this case means the scale can read any number in that interval.
