    We know that the real number of tickets sold was within 35 tickets of 350.

    "no more than 35" implies a difference less than or equal to 35, meaning we want to use ≤ in our equation.

    The following absolute value inequality describes our ticket range:

    |350 - x| ≤ 35

    Plug a few numbers in for x to make sure this function makes sense:

    x = 360

    |-10| = 10 ≤ 35

    x = 300

    |50| > 35, does not comply with our inequality.
