Given:

Joey had 26 game cards.

His friend Richard gave him some more, and now Joey has 100 cards.

To find:

How many cards did Richard give to Joey?

Solution:

Let x be the number of cards that Richard give to Joey.

Joey had 26 game cards.

Now, the total cards joey has

Joey has total 100 cards.

Therefore, Richard gave him 74 cards.

1. 34

2. 268

3. x=14.4

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.
