The temperature on a thermostat is set to 72∘F, but the actual temperature can vary by as much as 2∘F. Let x represent the actual temperature to create an absolute value inequality to determine the range of possible-actual temperatures.
Any help is much appreciated :)

Answer 2
Using an absolute value inequality, it is found that the range of temperatures is between 70ºF and 74ºF.
---------------
The absolute value function measures the distance of a point to the origin, and is defined by:[tex]|x| = x, x \geq 0[/tex]
[tex]|x| = -x, x < 0[/tex]
---------------
The actual temperature is x, on a thermostat set to 72ºF. It can vary by as much as 2ºF, which means that the absolute value of the difference between x and 72 is at most 2, that is:[tex]|x - 72| \leq 2[/tex]
Solving the inequality:
The term is both greater or equal to -2 and at most 2, thus:[tex]x - 72 \geq >= -2[/tex]
[tex]x \geq 70[/tex]
And
[tex]x - 72 \leq 2[/tex]
[tex]x \leq 74[/tex]
Thus, the range of temperatures is between 70ºF and 74ºF.
