The Department of Streets of a city has a budget of $1,962,800 for resurfacing roads and hiring additional

workers this year.

The cost of resurfacing a mile of 2-lane road is estimated at $84,000. The average starting salary of a worker in the department is $36,000 a year.

Your equation that represents the relationship between the miles of 2-lane roads the department could resurface, `x`, and the number of new workers it could hire, `y`, if it spends the entire budget.

Take the equation you wrote in the first question and solve for `y`. Explain what the solution represents in this situation. 

"if it is my birthday, then it is snowing"

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.

step-by-step explanation:

the first option is the answer.
