Answer:

26.8°F≤x≤29.2°F

Explanation:

If the thermometer reads 28°F, the range should be from 28°F to 29.2°F or 26.8°F to 28°F.

Answer:

26.8 ≤ t ≤ 29.2

Explanation:

26.8 and 29.2 are the 2 numbers that are both 1.2 from 28. The equation explains that the temperature, t, is in between them, as it is greater than 26.8, and less then 29.2

Hope this helps!
