Answer: C) The student made an error in step 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing by a negative while working with inequalities, you must "flip the sign." Thus, there is an error in step 3.
N.B. The answer could very well be interpreted as B), but I believe C) is the best and most defensible answer.
Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
Use algebra to set up 2 equations.
Assign c as number of tickets for CATS and w for number of tickets of WICKED
c + w = 2700
c / w = 7 / 11
Then solve for one of them in the first equation
c = 2700 - w
Then put this value for c into the 2nd equation
(2700 - w) / w = 7 / 11
Now cross multiply the numerator by denominator of both numerator and denominator pairs
7w = 11 x (2700 - w)
7w = 29700 - 11w
Now solve for w
7w = 26700 - 11w
Add +11w to both sides
18w = 29700
Now divide by 18 on both sides
w = 1650
Then c is the remainder of that ... 2700 - 1650 = 1050
You can also check because 7 / 11 = 1050 / 1650
x < -9 or x > 7
x + 1 < -8
x < -9
x + 1 > 8
x > 7
... when the inequality sign is facing the x, x is GREATER and it resembles an OR statement. I personally like to think of it as: greater than (greatOR than) = or statement; less than (less thAND) = and statement.

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a subtraction problem. We need to subtract 5/8 from 3/4. We need a common denominator of 8.
3/4 - 5/8 = 6/8 - 5/8 = 1/8
Answer: 1/8
