Question

A water slide has a maximum weight limit of 300 pounds and a minimum weight limit of 48 pounds. Write an absolute value equation to represent minimum and maximum of the water slide.

Answer 1

find the halfway point between 48 and 300

(300+48)/2=348/2=174

174-48=126

300-174=126

lx-174l=126  answer

check: l300-174l=l126l=126

          l48-174=l-126l=126
