Answer :

Answer:

440 ≤ x ≤560

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. |x−500|≤60
  2. Rewrite it as a compound inequality−60≤x−500≤60
  3. Solve for X by adding 500 to each side. -60+500≤x-500+500≤60+500
  4. Leaving you with 440≤x≤560
  5. Answer: The coffee shop is expected to serve a maximum of 560 customers and a minimum of 440 customers per morning.
