Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for all -values within a distance of 10 from the number 6, and it requests the answer in interval notation.
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
The condition "within a distance of 10 from the number 6" can be written as an absolute value inequality:
-
To solve this absolute value inequality, we break it into two separate inequalities:
-
Now, solve for by adding 6 to all parts of the inequality:
-
The solution in interval notation is:
So, the values of that are within a distance of 10 from the number 6 are in the interval .
