At a pumpkin patch, if armando guesses the weight of his pumpkin within 0.3 ounces, he gets to take the pumpkin home for free. if his pumpkin weighs 4.9 pounds, which two equations can be used to find the minimum and maximum weights he can guess in order to get his pumpkin for free?
a. x – 0.3 = 4.9 and x – 0.3 = –4.9
b. x + 0.3 = 4.9 and x + 0.3 = –4.9
c. x + 4.9 = 0.3 and x + 4.9 = –0.3
d. x – 4.9 = 0.3 and x – 4.9 = –0.3

the answer is D hope it helps

d. x – 4.9 = 0.3 and x – 4.9 = –0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The estimated weight of the pumpkin = 4.9 pounds,

Since, the weight of his pumpkin can be within 0.3 ounces,

Let x be the actual weight of the pumpkin,

⇒ Maximum estimated weight of the pumpkin = x + 0.3 ,

And, minimum estimated weight of the pumpkin = x - 0.3,

⇒ x + 0.3 = 4.9 and x - 0.3 = 4.9

⇒ x - 4.9 = - 0.3 and x - 4.9 = 0.3

⇒ Option d is correct.

so what is the question
