The maximum temperature is
The minimum temperature is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The temperature at which the ice cream should be stored
Allowance allowed
Concept Used:
When solving an equation with an absolute value there can be 2 case:
Case 1: The value inside the absolute value symbol is 0 or positive.
Case 2: The value inside the absolute value symbol is negative.
Calculation:
Let the actual temperature with the allowed variation be x .
So according to the question:
Using the concept explained above:
Case 1
