The russo-japanese war was a conflict between russia and japan that started in the year 1904.
let xx represent any year. write an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the russo-japanese war.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict between Russia and Japan that started in the year 1904.

To Find: Write an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the Russo-Japanese War.

Solution :

The year of the conflict is 1904.

We are given x  that represents the year before the given year 1904.

Since we are given that x represents the year after the given year 1610.

⇒ x must be smaller than year 1904

Thus, the inequality becomes:  

Hence an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the Russo-Japanese War

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
