A quality control inspector is in charge of inspecting drill bits that are produced on an assembly line. The diameter of a drill bit can be modeled by the equation |x − 0.525| = 0.01. Show your work in solving the equation to determine the minimum and maximum diameters of the drill bits.

Here is my answer, I need to make sure that I am correct.

|x - 0.525| = 0.01
x - 0.525 = 0.01
x - 0.525 = -0.01
+0.525 +0.525
x = 0.525 - 0.01
x = 0.525 + 0.01
x = 0.515, 0.535
