The water temperature required for a certain manufacturing process is 134°F. However, the process allows for a variation of 7°F
in the water temperature. If x represents the water temperature, which inequality describes the situation? What is the range of water temperatures that is allowed for this process?
The temperature that represents a smaller value would be the one with negative eighty (or -80) degrees Fahrenheit. Although it is negative, the value of 80 does not mean it has a smaller value as to 134 degrees. It is just that the difference between the absolute values of the two show that 134 degrees Fahrenheit has a bigger value.
