A number is less than 20 units away from 7 on the number line. What numbers are within these parameters? Choose the inequality that represents the situation.

“Less than 20 units away from 7” means the distance between x and 7 is less than 20. Distance on a number line is represented by absolute value, so the inequality is |x − 7| < 20. This matches choice B.
