4(b+4)=2 (b+6)what are the steps to solve equation

Step 1: Solve whatever is in the parentheses/ combine like terms within the parentheses

Step 2: Distribute the Multiplication within the parentheses

Step 3: Even out the equation by combining like terms on both sides (Using addition, subtraction, or/and division)

Step 4: state the value for the variable

Step 5: Plug the value for B back into the original equation to check your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you look at combining like terms within the parentheses. but since you cant combine like terms because of the variable (you cant combine a regular 4 with a letter), you opt for distribution of the multiplication for both sides. so you multiply 4 to both B and the other 4, and you multiply 2 to B and 6 on the other side. Looks kinda like this but not quite: 4*b + 4*4 = 2*b + 2*6

and you get 4b + 16 = 2b + 12

Then subtract 4b from both sides.

you get

16 = -2b + 12

then you subtract 12 from both sides to even out the equation

you get

4 = -2b

Then divide -2 from both sides and you end up with

B= -2

You can put -2 back into the original equation to check you answer

so... 4 ((-2)+4)=2((-2)+6)

8=8 so it is correct.

answer for #1 is c

answer for #2 is d

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.
