Answer

the range (3.45,3.55)

Work Step by Step

Substituting $x_T=3.5$ in the expression $|x_T-x|$, then the acceptable measured values, $x$, with an absolute error of less than $0.05$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} |3.5-x|\lt0.05 \\\\ -0.05\lt 3.5-x\lt0.05 \\\\ -0.05-3.5\lt 3.5-x-3.5\lt0.05-3.5 \\\\ -3.55\lt -x\lt-3.45 \\\\ 3.55\gt x\gt3.45 \\\\ 3.45\lt x\lt3.55 .\end{array} The acceptable measured values is $\text{ the range (3.45,3.55) }.$
