3 In a basketball game, LeBron and Shaq combined to score 72 points. If
LeBron scored three times as many points as Shaq, how many points did
each player score?
(Aye can anyone help me out... how am I supposed to write my two equations out of this—??)

360/29

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.

step-by-step explanation:

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17
