Winston Bell · Answer 1

28|d - 350| - 7000 < 0

add 7000 to each side

28|d - 350| < 7000

divide both sides by 28

|d - 350| < 250

remove absolute value term on left so the right side becomes + / -

d-350 < + / - 250

now add 250 to 350 and subtract 250 from 350

250 + 350 = 600

350-250 = 100

answer is: B 100 < d < 600
