Question

The average weight of a turkey in the grocery store is 12 pounds.Any turkey within 6 pounds of this weight can be sold in the store. Write an absolute value inequality that models this situation.

Answer 1

The inequality would be 6 less than or equal to x is less than or equal to 18
Since the turkey has to be with 6 lb of the average (12). We can just add and subtract 6 to get the extreme minimum and maximum
12 - 6 = 6
And
12 + 6 = 18
