Write the statement as an absolute value inequality.
-In a milling operation, the thickness of the wood panels that can be produced satisfies the inequality $| \mathrm { x } - 1.88 | \leq 1.20$. What range of thicknesses corresponds to this inequality?
A) $[ 0.68,3.08 ]$
B) $[ 0.68,6.16 ]$
C) $[ 0.34,3.08 ]$
D) $[ 1.20,1.88 ]$

The absolute value inequality $|x - 1.88| \leq 1.20$ represents the range of values x can take such that their distance from 1.88 is at most 1.20 units. Solving the inequality, we get $0.68 \leq x \leq 3.08$, which corresponds to option A.

Write the Statement as an Absolute Value Inequality ∣x−1.88∣≤1.20| \mathrm { x } - 1.88 | \leq 1.20∣x−1.88∣≤1.20
