Find the value of x in the equation: x + 0.17x = 160 and express the answer rounded to two decimal places.

x=136.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x+0.17x=160

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+0.17x=160

(x+0.17x)=160(Combine Like Terms)

1.17x=160

1.17x=160

Step 2: Divide both sides by 1.17

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:

16 is the absolute value
