Answer:
[tex]|x-2|=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
On average, Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game but, depending on how well the opposing team is playing, his goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal. So, the minimum number of goals is 2 - 1 = 1 goal and the maximum number of goals is 2 + 1 = 3 goals.
These calculations show that we have to go right or left from the average number of goals (2 goals) left or right 1 point (1 goal).
If x represent the maximum and minimum goals, then
- x - 2 = 1 (go to the right 1 unit)
- x - 2 = -1 (go to the left 1 unit)
Thus,
[tex]|x-2|=1[/tex]
