Question

When Spheres-R-Us ships bags of golf balls, the number of balls in each bag must be within 6 balls of 300. Write a compound inequality and an absolute value inequality for an acceptable number of golf balls b in each bag.

Answer 1

please help!!!!!

Answer 2

the difference between the 300 balls and the b balls in the bag is 300-b

Answer 3

the has to be within -6 and 6

Answer 4

so the compound inequalities would be:
-6<300-b<6

Answer 5

Can you try the absolute value inequality?

Answer 6

idk how

Answer 7

if |x|<2, then the compound inequality would be:
-2<x<2

Answer 8

oh yea i kinda remember that but not much

Answer 9

so with what I have just given, try your hand at writing the absolute inequality of the compound inequality that I just gave you.

Answer 10

the format |x|<2 is called the absolute value inequality
