A Steinway piano should be placed in a room where the relative humidity h is between 38% and 72%. Express this range with an inequality containing an absolute value.

We are essentially converting the inequality 

%0D%0A38%3CT%3C72%0D%0A 

into an absolute value inequality 

The middle of the interval is 

abs%2838%2B72%29%2F2=55 

The halfway distance on the interval is 

abs%2838-72%29%2F2=17 


therefore our interval is 

abs%28x-55%29%3C17
