4.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.

please someone help!!!

alekos · Answer

just boils down to two equations 

x - 0.525 = .01   and x-0.525 =-.01

anonymous · Answer

k, I get that

alekos · Answer

|x| = a     means  x=a  and x=-a

anonymous · Answer

I get that but I don't get how to solve it.

welshfella · Answer

just add 0.525 to both sides of the equations

welshfella · Answer

x   -    0.525     =    .01 
          +0.525                 + 0.525

 x                       =            -01 + 0.525

anonymous · Answer

x-0.525=0.01                     x-0.525= -0.01
            +0.525                                 +0.525
 x= 0.535                              x= 0.515
Right?
