Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the actual salary.

|x - 25,000| <= 1800

- 1,800 <= x - 25,000 <= 1,800

25,000 - 1,800 <= x <= 25,000 + 1,800

23,200 <= x <= 26,800

The range of the salary is the closed interval [23,200, 26,800].

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
