Question

The average hourly wage for part-time workers at a juice bar is $9.50. The actual hourly wage could differ from the average by as much as $1.50.

How would I write this as an absolute value inequality

Answer 1

I will medal and fan

Answer 2

9.50 - 1.5 = 8 minimum salary
9.50 + 1.5 = 11 maximum salary

\(8 \le x \le 11\)

\(8- 9.5 \le x - 9.5 \le 11 - 9.5\)

\(-1.5 \le x - 9.5 \le 1.5\)

\(|x - 9.5| \le 1.5\)
