Jill is building a wooden-raised bed garden for her vegetables. She wants the frame to have dimensions x feet by x + 3 feet. If she wants the garden to have a maximum area of 50 square feet, what are the possible values of x?

x less than or equal to 16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

50 divided by 3 is 16.6

since Jill wants 50 square feet as the maximum area x can be less than 16.6.

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general

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.
