Let x be the width of the fabric.

Given:

The width of the fabric can vary by no more than 0.2 meters from a standard width of 10 meters.

We can set up the absolute value inequality to represent this situation:

|x - 10| ≤ 0.2

For an inequality of the form |A| ≤ B, where A is an expression and B is a positive number, it can be rewritten as a compound inequality: -B ≤ A ≤ B. This inequality can be written as: -0.2 ≤ x - 10 ≤ 0.2.

We can break the compound inequality into two separate inequalitie and solve each inequality separate...
