There are 39 students. The number of students that play football is twice as much as the number of students that play volleyball.9 students play both sports. WHAT IS THE NR OF STUDENTS THAT ONLY PLAY FOOTBALL?

17

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 39 students.

students.

The number of students that play football is twice as much as the number of students that play volleyball.

Let the number that plays volleyball be x then the number that plays football will be 2x. This we have

x + 2x = 39

3x = 39

x = 13

The total number that plays volleyball is 13.

The total number that plays football will be 2 x 13 = 26

Since 9 students play both sports, the number of students that plays only football will be 26 - 9 = 17.

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16

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.
