Juan has the problem

below:
John is looking for a job
after graduation. The
salary, which he is
satisfied with, must be
$3000 with a tolerance of
$500. Which of the
following inequalities can
be used to assess which if
his salary is tolerable? (m
is the measure of the
salary)
Vanessas answer was
correct.
She said the absolute
value inequality was:
|m3000| 500

How did Vanessa choose

to use that inequality
sign?
