The surface area S of a cube is equal to the sum of the areas of the 6 square faces that form the cube. We want to paint the cube and need to know how many square units of paint to purchase. If each face has side length s, the the formula s=6s^2 can be used to find the surface area of the cube. The length of a side is indicated in the cube below (s=x-5). The surface area of the cube is 1944 units^2.
What is the value of x? SHOW and EXPLAIN each step you used to solve.

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.
