In the question , it is given that the price of the hat is 4 times as much as of the gloves . And the hat cost $ 8 .

And it is of 4 times to the cost of gloves means cost of gloves is

Total cost of both items

So the ratio of cost of gloves to the total cost of both items is

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
