The distance between a number and 7 on a number line is less than 5. Write and solve an absolute value inequality to represent this statement.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

distance is given by subtraction in absolute values for instance 'the distance between a and b is x' would be written\[|a-b|=x\]

OpenStudy (mathhelp346):

ok
