We know that baleen whales weigh between 6000 to 8000 lbs at birth.
We are expected to mathematically depict this range.
We'll use the less than/equal to symbol to depict this mathematically.
Let w represent its weight.
Filtering our options, we get to see that:
|7000 - w| < 1000
Because when w is subsituted with values between 6000 and 8000 and subtracted from 7000, the absolute value is always less than 1000.
