A number x is no more than 9 units away from 8. Write and solve an absolute-value inequality to show the range of possible values of x.
|x − 9| ≤ 8
1 ≤ x ≤ 17

|x − 8| ≤ 9
−1 ≤ x ≤ 17

|x + 9| ≤ 8
−17 ≤ x ≤ −1

|x + 8| ≤ 9
−17 ≤ x ≤ 1

Question

A number x is no more than 9 units away from 8. Write and solve an absolute-value inequality to show the range of possible values of x.
	|x − 9| ≤ 8
       1 ≤ x ≤ 17

|x − 8| ≤ 9
       −1 ≤ x ≤ 17

|x + 9| ≤ 8
      −17 ≤ x ≤ −1

|x + 8| ≤ 9
     −17 ≤ x ≤ 1

amit1235813 · Answer

You can formulate these two equalities first:
x is 9 units more than 8
x is 9 units less than 8

mackenzie2013 · Answer

I dont know how to do this. @amit1235813

amit1235813 · Answer

How do you write this as an equation?: x is 9 units more than 8

mackenzie2013 · Answer

x <_ 9 <8 ?

mackenzie2013 · Answer

I wasnt explained how to properly write them out.

amit1235813 · Answer

How about this: x equals 9 plus 8 ?
