Madison represented the sentence

"The product of 3 and the difference of - 4 and the quotient of a number and - 2 is at most 5"

by using the inequality 3 (-4 - n/-2) < 5

What is madison's error?

Answer: C

The mistake is that it can be 5. They forget to include the equals in the less than or equals

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at the inside and work out

quotient of a number and - 2

n/-2

difference of - 4 and the quotient of a number and - 2

-4 - n/-2

product of 3 and the difference of - 4 and the quotient of a number and - 2

3 * (-4 - n/-2)

is at most 5

3 * (-4 - n/-2) ≤5

The mistake is that it can be 5. They forget to include the equals in the less than or equals
