Your friend says the solution to 6x + 19x - 3 = 5(5x + 6) is x = 33. Solve 6x + 19x-3 = 5(5x + 6). What was your friend's likely error?

Forgot to divide at the end

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out your friend's error, solve the equation yourself.

When we do this, we realize adding 3 would make it 33. This shows that the friend likely forgot to divide by 25 to completely isolate x, and stopped at that step.

seems like d

step-by-step explanation:

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.
