Linda drove to her boyfriend's house and found him waxing his car. this job usually takes him 3 hours. she wanted her boyfriend to take her to the show which was starting in 2 hours. she offered to him, but she knew she would need 4 hours to wax the car by herself. she wondered how long both of them would need to wax the car. calculate the number of hours it will take. (round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

any options?

step-by-step explanation:

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.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is b
