In 90% of the last 30 years, the rainfall at shell beach has varied no more then 6.5 inches from its mean value of 24 inches. Write and solve an absolute value inequality to describe the rainfall in the other 10% of the last 30 years

Respuesta :

Solution:

Let x = actual rainfall in the year

[tex] \left | x - 24 \right |>6.5 [/tex]

[tex] x-24 > 6.5 or x-24 <  -6.5 [/tex]

[tex] x > 6.5 + 24 or x < -6.5 + 24 [/tex]

[tex] x > 30.5 or x < 17.5 [/tex]
