Your friend claims to know the correct answer. Is your friend correct?

There is not enough information to decide.

You randomly survey students about year-round school. The results are shown in the graph. a. Write and solve an absolute value equation to find the least and greatest percents of students who could be in favor of year-round school.

|x - 32| = 5, so x = 27% or x = 37%

|x - 32| = 10, so x = 22% or x = 42%

|x - 37| = 5, so x = 32% or x = 42%

|x - 27| = 5, so x = 22% or x = 32%

Does the claim that 1/3 of the student body is in favor of year-round school conflict with the survey data?

Yes, it conflicts with the survey data.

No, it matches the survey data.

The survey data is inconclusive.

The survey did not ask about year-round school.

The recommended weight of a soccer ball is 430 grams. The actual weight is allowed to vary by up to 20 grams. a. Write and solve an absolute value equation to find the minimum and maximum acceptable soccer ball weights.

|x - 430| = 20, so x = 410 grams or x = 450 grams

|x + 430| = 20, so x = 410 grams or x = 450 grams

|x - 430| = 20, so x = 420 grams or x = 440 grams

|x - 430| = 10, so x = 420 grams or x = 440 grams
