Question

The recommended weight of a soccer ball is 430 g the weigt is allowed to vary by up to 20 g. Right and solve an absolute value equation to find the minimum and maximum acceptable soccer ball weights

Answer 1

Answer: For this problem, let's assign variable x to the value of the actual weight. The recommended weight is the central value of the range. So, the variation must be 20 grams below and above the recommended weight. The equation would be:

Step-by-step explanation: Actual weight = |Recommended weight +/- 20|

x = |430 +/- 20|
