Solve.
-A landscaping company sells 40-pound bags of top soil. The actual weight x of a bag, however, may differ from the advertised weight by as much as 0.75 pound. Write an inequality involving absolute value that expresses the relationship between the actual weight x of a bag and 40 pounds. Solve the inequality, and express the answer in interval form.
A) $| x + 0.75 | \leq 40 ; [ 39.25 , \infty )$
B) $| 40 - \mathrm { x } | \leq 0.75 ; [ 39.25,40.75 ]$
C) $| 40 + x | \leq 0.75 ; [ 39.25,40.75 ]$
