[tex]|x-72.5|=4 \\ x-72.5=-4 \ \lor \ x-72.5=4 \\ x=-4+72.5 \ \lor \ x=4+72.5 \\ x=68.5 \ \lor \ x=76.5[/tex]

The minimum and maximum temperatures in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°.

Answer:

B : 68.5°F and 76.5°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has absolute value in it, meaning that the two equations for the two answers could be seen as "x-72.5=4" and "72.5-4=x".

x-72.5=4   :

72.5+4=x

72.5+4=76.5=x

76.5=x

72.5-4=x   :

72.5-4=68.5=x

68.5=x
