When Spheres-R-Us ships bags of golf balls, the number of balls in each bag must be within 6 balls of 300. Write a compound inequality and an absolute value inequality for an acceptable number of golf balls b in each bag.

Answer 1

The number of golf balls must be between 294 and 306.
A compound inequality:
294 ≤ x ≤ 306
As an absolute value inequality:
| x - 300 | ≤ 6.
