Answer: |81-x|<5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Temperature of an enclosure for a pet corn snake should be an average of 81° F.
Temperature in the enclosure should not vary by more than 5° F.
Let x= Temperature in the enclosure
Then, difference between average and current temperature should less the 5.
i.e. |81-x|<5 (required absolute value equation )
hence, the absolute value equation could be used to determine the minimum and maximum temperatures recommended for the corn snake enclosure:
|81-x|<5
