Answer: Madison used
instead of ![\geq](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cgeq)
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing question is: "Which best describes Madison’s error?"
For this exercise you need to remember the following:
1. By definition, a "product" is the result of a multiplication.
2. A "difference" is the result of a subtraction.
3. A "quotient" is the result of a division.
4. The words "at most" indicate than the symbol for the Inequality is: ![\geq](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cgeq)
Let be "n" a number.
Knowing the information given above, you can determine that the sentence "The product of 3 and the difference of Negative 4 and the quotient of a number and Negative 2 is at most 5" can represented with the following inequality:
![3(-4-\frac{n}{-2}) \geq 5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28-4-%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B-2%7D%29%20%5Cgeq%205)
Madison used this inequality:
![3(-4-\frac{n}{-2}) \leq 5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28-4-%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B-2%7D%29%20%5Cleq%205)
Notice that she is wrong, because she used
instead of ![\geq](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cgeq)
