A plant that manufactures metal plates has a quality control team to check that the plates are the right size. A rectangular plate with dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm must have a length 0.25 cm above or below 5 cm. Use the solution to the equation |x − 5| − 0.25 = 0 to find the minimum and maximum area, in sq. cm, of the plates
