Farid, an artist, plans to paint and sell some miniature paintings. He just bought some brushes for $50, and paint and canvas for each painting costs $20; he will sell each
painting for $45. Once Farid sells a certain number of his paintings, he will be
breaking even. How much will Farid have earned?

Acable company claims that the average household pays $78 a month for a basic cable plan, but it could differ by as much as $20. write an absolute value inequality to determine the range of basic cable plan costs with this cable company. a. |x − 78| ≥ 20 b. |x − 20| ≥ 78 c. |x − 20| ≤ 78 d. |x − 78| ≤ 20
