A cyclist rides at an average speed of 31 miles per hour. The cyclist’s speed, s, can differ from the average by as much as 8 miles per hour. The absolute value inequality represents this situation. If the compound inequality and also represents this situation, what is the value of x in the compound inequality?

A student showed the steps below while solving the inequality by graphing.Step 1:Write a system of equations: Step 2: Graph the two equations:Step 3:Identify the values of x for which :x = 3 or x = 5Step 4:Write the solution in interval notation:What is the first step in which the student made an error?
