You are in charge of your best friends birthday party. you decid to order food from jersey mikes because you have a coupon for $10 off your order. you order 3 large sandwiches, potato salad for $15 and macaroni salad for $12. you spend a total of $113. how much was each of the sandwiches? a) define a variable. b) create an equation to represent the situation. c) solve for your variable

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.
