A leaky pool loses 2 and one-fourth inches of water each day. Jermaine and Mildred are asked to determine the change in the amou

nt of water in the pool over 5 days. Jermaine’s Solution Mildred’s Solution 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus one-fourth = negative 10 and one-fourth 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction = negative 11 and one-fourth Which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct? Jermaine is correct because Negative 10 minus one-fourth equals Negative 10 and one-fourth Jermaine is correct because he distributed 5 correctly. Mildred is correct because she multiplied 5 by –2 but not by Negative one-fourth. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly.

Answer:

  Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot tell exactly which solution goes with which student, but we believe you are saying ...

Mildred’s Solution:

  5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth)

  = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction

  = negative 11 and one-fourth

This solution describes the correct distribution of 5. Whoever it belongs to gave the correct solution.

Solve the following inequality. Then place the correct answer in the box provided. 2x < 8 If someone could please explain it
Tanya [424]
When solving an inequality, the rules are similar to solving an equation, but instead there's an inequality sign. The only thing to be careful about when solving an inequality is that when you multiply/divide by a negative number, you have to flip the inequality sign, but you don't have to worry about that here!

So you have 2x < 8.

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable, x:
2x \ \textless \  8\\&#10;x \ \textless \  4

Your final inequality is x < 4.

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:  (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the point where the two graphed lines cross.  

The first number in the solution is the x-value,  that is how far to the left or right you count from the center O.  2 to the right +2

The second number in the solution is the y-value, that is how fat up or down you count from the center O.   3 down is -3

When you have those two values, you express them as the "coordinates" of that point. in this case  (2, -3)
