Hey there! :D
First, we need to solve the absolute value.
|s-14| <0.5
Keep the s-14 the same, and make the 0.5 the same for one solution, and flip the sign and make 0.5 negatives for the other solution.
s-14 <0.5
s-14>-0.5
(first solution)
s-14<0.5
Add 14 to both sides.
s<14.5
(second solution)
s-14>-0.5
Add 14 to both sides.
s>13.5
The solutions are:
s<14.5; s>13.5
I hope this helps!
