Bob sets the thermostat in his apartment to 68 degrees. The actual temperature in his apartment can vary from this by as much as 3.5 degrees. Write an absolute-value equation that you can use to find the minimum and maximum temperature. Then find the minimum and maximum (solve this equation)

and absolute value by mod(value)
The difference between the actual temperature and temperature shown by the the thermometer is less than or equal to 3.5 degrees
so, mod(68 - T) <= 3.5
so, 68 - T <= 3.5 and 68 - T >= -3.5
so, v >= 64.5 degrees and v <= 71.5 degrees
so, max temperature = 71.5 degrees
min temperature = 64.5 degrees
