Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I'll win the contest if I can complete the crossword puzzle in 20 minutes plus or minus 5 minutes, so my winning time, \(x,\) is modeled by \(|x-20| \leq 5\)
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. An elevator at a construction site has a maximum capacity of 2800 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 265 pounds and each cement bag weighs 65 pounds, how many bags of cement can be safely lifted on the elevator in one trip?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{x^{2}-25}{x-5}=x-5$$
