If a scuba diver is 20 feet under the surface of the water and ascends 8 feet, what is the scuba diver's new location?

They are -12 ft   or 12 ft below the surface of the water

Step-by-step explanation:

20 feet under the surface of the water

-20

ascends 8 feet

+8

-20+8 = -12

They are -12 ft   or 12 ft below the surface of the water

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → 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.
