Identify which values are solutions of 3x − 5 ≤ −2.

x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to get x by itself so you add 5 both side making it cancel on the left side . Then it will end up as 3x<3, so now you will have to divide 3 from both sides in order to have x by itself , which will give you the answer of x<1.

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.
