Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.
