During a musical an orchestra is playing. As the music plays, the volume changes in the beginning of the piece can be modeled by

the equation s = 10│x - 4│+ 50 where s represents the sound level in decibels and x represents the number of measures of music played. Explain in words each step to find the following question:
At what number(s) measures played would the sound level be at 80 decibels?

Hey Child.

The answer to this is 1 or 7:

To find the range for the number of measures played to satisfy our solution, we must solve for x using s = 80.

Next, we subtract 50 from both sides of the equation.

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 10

Next, to eliminate the absolute value bars, we will add a ± sign in front of our s value, 3.

Finally, we add 4 to both sides of our equation giving us 4 ± 3 = x

Separating this into two equations, we get 4 - 3 = x and 4 + 3 = x

Therefore, x, the number of measures of music played, must be either 1 or 7.
