Explain why the solution is correct or incorrect
responses
8.3 > m
Z < 2.9
W > 7.4
Solution
M = 2.9
Z = 2.9
W = -12
Which ones are Correct or Incorrect and explain why
The solution provided is incorrect.
Firstly, the solution states that M = 2.9, which contradicts the given inequality 8.3 > m. Therefore, M = 2.9 is incorrect.
Secondly, the solution states that Z = 2.9, which contradicts the given inequality Z < 2.9. Therefore, Z = 2.9 is incorrect.
Lastly, the solution states that W = -12, which does not align with the given inequality W > 7.4. Therefore, W = -12 is incorrect.
In summary, none of the values provided in the solution are correct because they do not satisfy the given inequalities.
- 8.3 > m: This statement is incorrect. The solution provided states that M = 2.9, so 8.3 is not greater than 2.9. The correct comparison should be m > 8.3.
- Z < 2.9: This statement is incorrect. The solution provided states that Z = 2.9, so Z is not less than 2.9. The correct comparison should be Z > 2.9.
- W > 7.4: This statement is correct. The solution provided states that W = -12, so -12 is greater than 7.4. The correct comparison is W < 7.4.
To determine if the given solutions are correct or incorrect, we need to compare each solution to the inequality statements provided.
1. 8.3 > m: This inequality states that "8.3 is greater than m." Based on the given solution, M = 2.9. Since 8.3 is greater than 2.9, this inequality is incorrect. The solution is incorrect.
2. Z < 2.9: This inequality states that "Z is less than 2.9." Based on the given solution, Z = 2.9. Since 2.9 is not less than itself, this inequality is incorrect. The solution is incorrect.
3. W > 7.4: This inequality states that "W is greater than 7.4." Based on the given solution, W = -12. Since -12 is less than 7.4, this inequality is also incorrect. The solution is incorrect.
In summary:
- The solution for the inequality 8.3 > m is incorrect because 2.9 is not greater than 8.3.
- The solution for the inequality Z < 2.9 is incorrect because 2.9 is not less than itself.
- The solution for the inequality W > 7.4 is incorrect because -12 is not greater than 7.4.
