Solve the problem.A landscaping company sells 40-pound bags of top soil. The actual weight x of a bag, however, may differ from the advertised weight by as much as 0.75 pound. Write an inequality involving absolute value that expresses the relationship between the actual weight x of a bag and 40 pounds. Solve the inequality, and express the answer in interval form.
A. |40 - x|? 0.75; [39.25, 40.75]
B. |x + 0.75| ? 40; [39.25, ?)
C. |x|- 40 ? 0.75 ; (-?, 40.75]
D. |40 + x| ? 0.75; [39.25, 40.75]
