Mr. lafond is building a rectangular dog run in his backyard. he uses 86 feet of fencing to enclose the dog run. the dog run is 25 feet long. how wide is the dog run?

Here,

Perimeter (P)=86 feet

Length (l)=25 feet

Let, width(b)= x feet

Then,

Perimeter= 2(l+b)

86=2(25+x)

43=25+x

x=18

Hence, required width is 18 feet...

need more information

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.
