Solution Set for Absolute Value Inequality

At the TX Design Company, the average starting salary for a new designer is $33,600, but the actual salary could differ from the average by as much as $1,560. Which inequality could be used to determine if a salary, x, falls within this range?

•   |x -­ 1,560| ≤ 33,600

•   x -­ 33,600 ≤ 1,560

•   |x ­ -33,600| ≥ 1,560

•   |x -­ 33,600| ≤ 1,560
