The human body has a normal temperature of 98.6°F. Doctors will get worried if a sick patient has a temperature that varies from the normal by more than 3°F. Create an absolute value inequality and solve it to determine what body temperatures would be considered unhealthy.

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

And solving for T we got:

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

And solving for T we got:

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
