when solving absolutes remember there's always going to be two version to the problem the original version and the negated version.

|x-84|=0.5    -|x-84|=0.5
 x-84=0.5     -x+84=0.5
 x=0.5+84    -x=0.5-84
 x= 84.5       -x=-83.5
                    x=83.5

so that means that the least amount of weight should be 83.5 while the most amount should be 84.5
