2. A machine fills bags with 24 ounces of M&Ms. After the bags are filled, another

machine weighs them. If a bag's weight differs from the desired 24-ounce weight
by more than 0.25 ounces, the bag is rejected.
Part A: Define a variable and write an absolute value inequality that represents the
weight a bag must be in order to not be rejected.
Can someone help me??
