Question

Part A USE A MODEL Express the statement using an inequality involving absolute value. Let x represent the number of students attending the dance. The dance committee expects attendance to number within 25 of last year's 87 students.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The dance committee expects attendance to number within 25 of last year's 87 students can be expressed using an inequality involving absolute value as:

|x - 87| <= 25

This inequality states that the absolute difference between the number of students attending the dance (x) and 87, which was the number of students attending last year, must be less than or equal to 25. This means that the number of students attending the dance this year must be within 25 of the number of students attending last year.
