On average, ryan can finish a puzzle in 3 hours but, depending on the difficulty of the puzzle, his time can vary from the average by 2 hours.
which absolute value equation can be used to calculate ryan's maximum and minimum time to complete a puzzle?
let x represent the maximum and minimum time
|x−3|=2
|x+2|=3
|x+3|=2
|x−2|=3

|x − 3| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between his maximum time and his average time is +2 hours.

x − 3 = 2

The difference between his minimum time and his average time is -2 hours.

x − 3 = -2

Using absolute values:

|x − 3| = 2

22 and 22

step-by-step explanation:

10 plus 12 equals 22.

12 plus 10 also equals 22 because regardless of what order they're in, they're gonna equal the same thing.

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000
