Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation ? y + 1 = 3(x - 4) Choose 1 Only * (4, - 1) ) Only (5, 2) Both (4, - 1) ) and (5, 2) ) Neither

Replacing the ordered pairs into the equation, we find that the correct option is:

The equation is:

An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution to the equation if we replace (x,y) in the equation and get an identity.

Test if (4,-1) is a solution:

Identity, so it is.

Test if (5,2) is a solution:

Identity, so it is.

Hence, both is the correct option.

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.
