Question

On average, Emma can clean her room in 35 minutes but, depending on how dirty her room is, her time can vary from the average by 20 minutes.
Which absolute value equation can be used to calculate Emma's maximum and minimum time to clean her room?

Let x represent the maximum and minimum time.


|x-20|=35

|x+20|=35

|x+35|=20

|x-35|=20​

Answer 1

B. |x+20|=35

This is because 20 is the minimum time, so you have to add that to whatever x is. since x can be the minimum or maximum, this further proves this statement. You can also know this is correct because the final product (35) was the maximum time shown in the world problem
