A publisher claims that the average salary paid at its company is $37,500 but it could differ as much as $4500. Write and solve an absolute value inequality to determine the range of salaries at this company.

|x − 37500| ≤ 4500; The salaries range from $33,000 to $42,000

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4500; The salaries are less than $33,000 or greater than $42,000.

|x − 37500| ≥ 4500; The salaries range from $33,000 to $42,000

|x − 37,500| ≥ 4500; The salaries are less than $33,000 or greater than $42,000.

Lana, go back to the question concerning -3 < p < 6

lena772 · Answer

What about it?

hero · Answer

Notice that the solution is -3 < p < 6, but look at the number line for it: http://tr.im/4l46v

lena772 · Answer

i see what you mean

hero · Answer

It works for the option "the number line is everywhere"

hero · Answer

Okay good.

lena772 · Answer

So am I right for this question though?

hero · Answer

Yes, correct

hero · Answer

Because |x − 37500| ≤ 4500 is equivalent to 33000 ≤ x ≤ 42000
