The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 44 yards. It’s length is 5 yards less than double the width. Find the length and the width of the garden. Show all work.

Length = 13 yards, width = 9 yards.

Step-by-step explanation: Because length is 5 yards less than double the width L = 2W - 5. The perimeter is P = 2L + 2W. We substitute our L value for the equation

2(2W-5) + 2W = 44 then we simplify

4W - 10 + 2w = 44 Add 10 to both sides

4W + 2W = 54 Add the W's

6W = 54 Then divide by 6 on both sides

W = 9

We can plug this into our original equation

L = 2(9) - 5

L = 18 - 5

L = 13

Then we can test this

2(13) + 2(9) = 44. Looks correct

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.
