On the freeway, it is unsafe to drive too slowly or too quickly. The safest driving speeds on the freeway near Allan’s town were scientifically determined to be between the minimum and maximum speeds (in miles per hour) according to the equation |x – 55| = 4.2. Which equation can be used to determine the maximum safe driving speed?

A
x – 55 = 4.2
B
x – 55 = –4.2
C
x + 55 = 4.2
D
x + 55 = –4.2

Question illustration
A
The range of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers greater than or equal to 4.
B
The domain of the transformed function is all real numbers and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function.
C
The range of the transformed function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function.
D
The domain of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers.

Laurie is trying to stay within 10 feet of her current diving depth of –30 feet (with regard to sea level) so that the light is still good but she can be close to the sea life during her scuba dive. Which two equations can be used to find the minimum and maximum depths Laurie wants to stay between?

A
-30 - x = 10 and -30 - x = –10
B
-30 + x = 10 and -30 + x = –10
C
x + 10 = 30 and x + 10 = –30
D
x – 10 = 30 and x – 10 = –30
