Student's error is –5 < x.

Solution:

Step 1: Given inequality

31 < –5x + 6

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality.

31 – 6 < –5x + 6 – 6

25 < –5x

Step 3: Multiply both sides by –1 to reverse the inequality.

25 × (–1) > –5x × (–1)

–25 > 5x

Step 4: Divide by 5 on both sides.

–5 > x

The correct answer is –5 > x.

Student's error is –5 < x.

If a position on the ocean floor is 12 kilometers below the sea level, which value describes the elevation of the ocean floor

LenKa [72]

Answer:

- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sea level serves as a reference point and may be used to describe objacetsvir positions above or below it. Therefore, the sea level is regarded as a zero point or level. Hence, objects below are describes to be at a negative distance while those above are assigned the positive sign. Hence, for a position which is 12 km below sea level, then the object is said to be at a distance of - 12 km (below sea level takes the negative sign.)
