A plant produces sport drinks, which must be within 0.15 fluid ounces of the advertised 10 fluid ounces on the label. if x represents the volume, write an equation to model the maximum and minimum volumes and determine the minimum volume in a bottle

The equation that gives the minimum and maximum volumes is:

|V - 10| = 0.15

the minimum volume in a bottle will be 9.85 liquid ounces.

How to write an equation that models the minimum and maximum volume in a bottle?

This time we know that the advertised volume is 10 fluid ounces, and the accepted error is 0.15 fluid ounces.

Then the volume V inside a bottle must be a solution of the inequality:

|V - 10| ≤ 0.15

If we want an equation that gives the maximum and minimum values of V, then we need to only take the "equal part" of the above inequality, so we get:

|V - 10| = 0.15

That equation can be rewritten into:

V - 10 = 0.15

V - 10 = -0.15

Solving these two equations for V give the maximum and minimum values of V.

V = 0.15 + 10 = 10.15

V = -0.15 + 10 = 9.85

Thus, the minimum volume in a bottle will be 9.85 liquid ounces.
