Answer

$-5\leq h \leq 15$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow |h-5|\leq 10$ Write a compound inequality. $\Rightarrow h-5\leq 10$ and $h-5\geq -10$ Add $5$ to each side. $\Rightarrow h-5+5\leq 10+5$ and $h-5+5\geq -10+5$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow h\leq 15$ and $h\geq -5$ Hence, the solution is $-5\leq h \leq 15$.
