Alisha buys 6 boxes of peanut butter granola bars and 6 boxes of cinnamon granola bars. Let p represent the number of peanut butter granola bars and c represent the number of cinnamon granola bars. Jaira and Emma each write an expression that represents the total number of granola bars Alisha bought. Jaira
6p + 6c

Emma
6(p + c)
Are the expressions equivalent?

Yes.

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.
