You and your friend play an arcade game. You score 5 points for every 9 points that your friend scores. You score 320 points less than your friend. How many points do you each score?

400 ; 720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

My score = 5 point for every 9 points scored by my friend ; hence my score is always 4 points less than my friend's score.

Let number of shot = x

Also my score x is 320 less than my friend's score

Hence after x shots

My score = friend's score - 320

5x = 9x - 320

5x - 9x = - 320

-4x = - 320

x = 80

Hence ;

My score = 5x = 5* 80 = 400

My &friend's score = 9 * 80 = 720

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.
