Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A real estate development consists of home sites that range in width from 53 to 119 feet and in depth from 140 to 194 feet. Using $x$ as the variable in both cases, write absolute value inequalities that correspond to these ranges.

• A) \(| x - 86 | \leq 33 , | x - 167 | \leq 27\)
• B) \(| x - 33 | \leq 86 , | x - 27 | \leq 167\)
• C) \(| B - 66 | \leq 53 , | x - 54 | \leq 140\)
• D) \(| B - 53 | \leq 66 , | x - 140 | \leq 54\)
