Question

Describe in words what the absolute value inequality |x - a| < b represents. What phrase might you see in a word problem that would indicate to write this type of inequality?

Answer 1

would it be correct if i explain it as:

x minus a number is less than b. You could use this in many situations, including one where you had to subtract a certain number (a) away from your original value (x) and it will be less than a number (b).
