  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.

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.
