Compound inequalities are used to combine several inequalities
The solution as a compound inequality is [tex]374<x <404[/tex]
Assume the correct amount of jelly beans in the jar is x.
15 away from x can be represented as 15 - x or x - 15
The correct number of jelly beans is given as 389.
So, when the statement is represented as an absolute inequality, we have:
[tex]|x - 15| < 389[/tex]
Express as compound inequality:
[tex]389 - 15<x <389 + 15[/tex]
Evaluate like terms
[tex]374<x <404[/tex]
Hence, the solution as a compound inequality is [tex]374<x <404[/tex]
