When solving the equation x-5=-12 what should you do to both sides of the equation? A: add 5
B: subtract 5
C: multiply by 5
D: divide by 5

Hello. The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should add five to left side to make x alone.

For avoiding changing the equation you should add another five to left side.

I hope you understand

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.
