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. Which absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game? |x−1|=2

|x+1|=2

|x−2|=1

|x+2|=1

Given:

Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

To find:

The absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game.

Solution:

Let Christopher scores x goals in a soccer game.

Then difference between actual goals and average goals is x-2.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

Maximum number of goals = 2+1 = 3

Minimum number of goals = 2-1 = 1

It means, the difference between actual goals and average goals is either -1 and 1.

        ...(2)

Using (1) and (2),we get

Therefore, the correct option is C.
