Answer: | x -24 |=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mary's car can go 24 miles on one gallon of gasoline.

her gas mileage can vary by 2 miles per gallon depending on where she drives .

i.e. either 2 miles added or subtracted in the  gas mileage.

i.e. -2< Gas milegae -24 <2

⇒  | Gas milegae -24 |=2

Let x represents the gas mileage.

Then,  | x -24 |=2 is the required absolute value equation that you can use to find the minimum and maximum gas mileage.
