At a pumpkin patch, if armando guesses the weight of his pumpkin within 0.3 pounds, he gets to take the pumpkin home for free. if his pumpkin weighs 4.9 pounds, which two equations can be used to find the minimum and maximum weights he can guess in order to get his pumpkin for free?

x – 0.3 = 4.9 and x – 0.3 = –4.9
x + 0.3 = 4.9 and x + 0.3 = –4.9
x + 4.9 = 0.3 and x + 4.9 = –0.3
x – 4.9 = 0.3 and x – 4.9 = –0.3

last option

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the weight of his pumpkin 4.9 pounds and that, if he guesses its weight within 0.3 pounds, he will get the pumpkin for free.

Then, to find the minimum weight he can guess  in order to get his pumpkin for free, it's necessary to write the expression:
