<span>It looks like you're supposed to pick a combination of two answers:
an absolute-value inequality, and
a sentence describing the meaning of that inequality.
We've got two choices for each, and therefore four possible combinations of choices.
First, let's tackle the sentence description. We're told that
"it [the cost] could differ [from the average of $32] as much as $8."
That sets a maximum value for the difference; it's UP TO $8.
If the cost is less than average, it could be as little as
$32 - $8 = $24
and if the cost is more than average, it could be as much as
$32 + $8 = $40.
So the medication costs range from $24 to $40, and we want an answer that states that.
Now for the inequalities:
|x - 32| describes the SIZE of the difference. Using the absolute-value function means we don't distinguish between
x - 32
and
32 - x
as far as our interests are concerned; we eliminate the sign from the subtraction and just look at the size of the difference.
But in the case we're looking at, we've got a MAXIMUM value for the difference; it can't be more than 8. The inequality
|x - 32| ≥ 8
says the difference is 8 or MORE, so we don't want that. Instead, we want
|x - 32| ≤ 8
which says the difference is anywhere from 0 to 8.
Combining these conclusions, we see we're looking for this answer:
|x - 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40
which is the third one listed.</span>
Answer:
A jumbo burrito cost more than $3.00
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
The Larsen Family bought 3 jumbo burritos and 2 regular burritos for $13.65. The Russo family bought 5 jumbo burritos and 2 regular burritos for $20.23. Does a jumbo burrito cost more than $3.00? Write and solve a system of equations to justify your answer
Let
x ---> the price of one jumbo burrito
y ---> the price of one regular burrito
we know that
<em>The Larsen Family</em>
----> equation A
<em>The Russo family</em>
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The solution is (3.29,1.89)
see the attached figure
The cost of a jumbo burrito is $3.29
therefore
A jumbo burrito cost more than $3.00
