The ideal width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is4 cm. An actual width can vary by at most 0.3
cm. Write an absolute value inequality for the range of acceptable widths, in centimeters.
IW - 41 303
0214

Answer 1

|x - 4| ≤ 0.3

Explanation:

The actual width = 4

Maximum variation, x = 0.3

Hence, the lowest width position based on actual width and possible variation is :

4 - 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 4 + 0.3

3.7 ≤ x ≤ 4.3
