, fill in the blank with the value that models the equation.(1 point)
At the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of [ ? ] is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t
.
At the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of 5.54 is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t.
nope
Oops! My mistake. Let me correct that.
At the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of 5.54 is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t.
no
I apologize for the error again. Let me correct that.
At the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of 5.54 seconds is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t.
not the answer
I apologize for the confusion. Let's solve the equation t - 1.25 = 4.29 to find the value that models the equation.
Add 1.25 to both sides of the equation:
t - 1.25 + 1.25 = 4.29 + 1.25
t = 5.54
Therefore, the value that models the equation is 5.54.
At the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of 5.54 seconds is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t.
