You, as a mayor of the city, need to create sufficient housing, so that there are no homeless people in your city. You have a fixed amount of space to create housing and buildings for
every family in the city.
There are 360 families who live in the city. Each Floor can house 2 families, in two adjacent
apartments. Hence, a building of 12 floors will house 24 families. You have space to create
only 10 buildings.
Your task is to create an arrangement of buildings in the city. You can control how high a
building can be, by assigning the floors to a building.

The mayor will need 18 floors to each of the 10 buildings.

Step-by-step explanation:

360 buildings with 2 families per floor, that will require

360 / 2 = 180 floors.

For a limit of 10 buildings, the mayor will need

180 / 10 = 18 floors per building.

(3x-8) or (3x+8)

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.
