Question
On average, Mary can drive to the supermarket in 10 minutes but, depending on traffic, the drive can vary from the average by 5 minutes.
Which absolute value equation can be used to calculate Mary’s maximum and minimum drive times?
Let x represent the maximum and minimum time.
∣∣x−5∣∣=10
∣∣x+10∣∣=5
∣∣x+5∣∣=10
|x−10|=5
