A tree in Micah’s yard has 120 leaves and loses an average of 4.5 leaves each day. A tree in Heather’s yard has 45 leaves and gains an average of 0.5 leaves each day. Write and solve an equation to find the number of days it will take for both trees to have an equal number of leaves.

I think it’s 15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is d

hope this

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.
