Answer 9

I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.

Given the equation t − 1.25 = 4.29

Add 1.25 to both sides:
t = 4.29 + 1.25
t = 5.54

Therefore, at the swim meet, Matthew’s new time of 5.54 seconds is 1.25 seconds better than his previous time, t. Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clears up any confusion.
