Answer 9

A company did a quality check on all the packs of roasted almonds it manufactured. Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?

Answer 10

a. x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0
b. x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24
c. x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24
d. x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

Answer 11

A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted >> |x-21.5|>0.24

now,
|a| >b gives, a> b or a<-b
so what about
|x-21.5| >0.24 ??
