In order to solve this exercise you need to remember the following symbols in Inequalities:
1. The meaning of this symbol is "Greater than":

2. The meaning of this one is "Less than":

3. The following symbol means "Less than or equal to":

4. And this one means "Greater than or equal to":

Knowing the above, you can determine that the statement "c is less than 6", can be written as the following inequality:

The answer is:
9.4 Ft for the first one
7.5 Ft for the second piece
12 Ft for the Third
he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
14. The distance between the two points is 14.866.
Distance can be calculated with the following formula:
d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
d=√(12-2)²+(5-(-6))²
d=√10²+11²
d=√100+121
d=√221
d=14.866
15. The distance between the two points is 20.248.
Use the same formula to find the distance.
d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
d=√(4-(-3))²+(12-(-7))²
d=√7²+19²
d=√49+361
d=√410
d=20.248
The Absolute Value of a number is "the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign". So the Absoulute Value of 1/2 is |1/2|
X = 4y
3x - y = 70
substitute the x in the second equation with the other half of the first equation.
3(4y) - y = 70
12y - y = 70
11y = 70
y = 6.36 repeating, or 6 4/11
now use this to solve first equation
x = 4 (6 4/11)
x = 25.45 repeating
