Answer:

|x-6|\le 0.45

x\in [5.55,6.45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Absolute Value Inequality</u>

Assume the actual width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is x. We know the ideal width of the strap is 6 cm. This means the variation from the ideal width is x-6.

Note if x is less than 6, then the variation is negative. We usually don't care about the sign of the variation, just the number. That is why we need to use the absolute value function.

The variation (unsigned) from the ideal width is:

|x-6|

The question requires that the variation is at most 0.45 cm. That poses the inequality:

|x-6|\le 0.45

That is the range of acceptable widths. Let's now solve the inequality.

To solve an inequality for an absolute value less than a positive number N, we write:

-0.45\le x-6 \le 0.45

This is a double inequality than can be easily solved by adding 6 to all the sides.

-0.45+6\le x \le 0.45+6

Operating:

5.55\le x \le 6.45

That is the solution in inequality form. Expressing in interval form:

\boxed{x\in [5.55,6.45]}

Braden has $75 to spend for t shirts online. If shipping is $3 , how many " t" t shirts can he buy if theshirts cost $ 8?
inysia [295]

Answer:

9 tshirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Money he had for t shirts= $75

Cost of shipping= $3

Money left for t shirts= $75-$3=$72

Cost of 1 t shirt= $8

We can find the answer with two ways:

1st way: tshirts of $8=1

tshirts of $72=72/8

=$9

2nd way: Cost ($) 8 72

T shirts 1 x

8/1=72/x

by cross multiply

x=72/8

x=9

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

5x+8x+2x =180

Combine like terms

15x = 180

Divide by 15 on each side

15x/15 =180/15

x=12
