Answer:

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

salary - 37,500 can be up  +4500 or as negative -4500

as much as means less than or equal to

We use absolute values to indicate this

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500

Answer:

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the new salary paid (In dollars ),

∵ The actual salary = $ 37,500

∵ Maximum difference in salaries = $ 4500

Case 1 : If x > 0

⇒ x - 37500 ≤ 4500 -----(1)

Case 2 : If x < 0

⇒ 37500 - x ≤ 4500

⇒ -(x-37500) ≤ 4500 -----(2)

By combining inequalities (1) and (2),

| x - 37500 | ≤ 4500  ( ∵ |a| < b ⇒ -a < b or a < b )

Which is the absolute value inequality to determine the range of salaries at this company.

FIRST option is correct.

Use the geometric mean for right triangles here.  Like this \frac{9}{y}= \frac{y}{7}.  Cross multiply to get y^{2}=63, and y= \sqrt{63}.  That simplifies down to y= \sqrt{9*7}.  Pull out the 9 as a perfect square of 3 and you're left with y=3 \sqrt{7}, first choice above.
