Find the value of x that makes m|| n.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x that makes m || n, we need to note something.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, their angle measures will be the same.

Therefore, in order for m and n to be parallel, their two angles listed must be equivalent.

So, we can set these expression equal to each other and solve for x.

Therefore, x=23.

Hope this helped!

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.
