Name the property or definition illustrated below If y = 3x and 2x + 4y = 12, then 2x + 4(3x) = 12

Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

y=3x

2x+4y=12

Then, 2x+4(3x)=12

Substitution: replacing one variable in terms of another variable.

As we can see from the given aspects, y=3x, and the conclusion expression has no y instead of 3x. This means it represented y in terms of x, which fits the definition of substitution that replaces one variable.

Hope this helps!! :)

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.
