Answer:
Minimum sea level: [tex]-5349[/tex] feet.
Maximum sea level: [tex]8749[/tex] feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Texas is on average 1700 feet above sea level. This level varies by as much as 7049 feet depending on precipitation and your location.
[tex]|\text{Actual-Ideal}|=\text{Tolerance}[/tex]
[tex]|x-1700|=7049[/tex]
Using absolute value definition [tex]|u|=a[/tex], then [tex]u=-a\text{ or }u=a[/tex], we will get:
[tex]x-1700=-7049[/tex] or [tex]x-1700=7049[/tex]
[tex]x-1700+1700=-7049+1700[/tex] or [tex]x-1700+1700=7049+1700[/tex]
[tex]x=-5349[/tex] or [tex]x=8749[/tex]
Therefore, the minimum sea level is [tex]-5349[/tex] feet and maximum sea level is [tex]8749[/tex] feet.
