Answer:
17. 25 mile per gallon
18. Eduardo did should have divided by -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
17. The least mileage will be had when the most gas is used to go a given distance. For the given distance, the most gas that could have been used (without adding any) is 18 gallons. Then the least mileage is ...
(450 mi)/(18 gal) = 25 mi/gal
__
18. The appropriate method for solving this inequality is ...
-4x/(-4) < 120/(-4) . . . . divide both sides by -4 (and reverse the > symbol)
x < -30
The step Eduardo took of adding 4 will give ...
-4x +4 > 124 . . . . . puts him one step farther away from a solution
Eduardo chose an operation to perform that did not get him closer to a solution.
