The correct absolute value equation to determine the highest and lowest temperatures in the movie theater, given that the temperature is set to 72 degrees Fahrenheit and can vary by 4 degrees, is:
\[
|t - 72| = 4
\]
This equation means that the temperature \( t \) can be either 4 degrees above or below 72 degrees. Therefore, the highest temperature would be 76 degrees (72 + 4) and the lowest temperature would be 68 degrees (72 - 4).
\[
|t - 72| = 4
\]
This equation means that the temperature \( t \) can be either 4 degrees above or below 72 degrees. Therefore, the highest temperature would be 76 degrees (72 + 4) and the lowest temperature would be 68 degrees (72 - 4).
