how can u describe a mathematical statement?

Question

mathlegend · Answer

By simply showing the work and labeling where necessary.

mathlegend · Answer

Right, @JFrance ? Wouldn't that be the only practical way to describe a mathematical statement? You would have no choice but to show work. Labeling and explaining why you did something as well.

here's another question: how will you know if an example is a inequality or not and how can u show the inequality model of it???

mathlegend · Answer

Well, let me ask you this... do inequalities you equal signs or do they use something else?

ex. 2x = 4
Is this an inequality?

anonymous · Answer

no

mathlegend · Answer

Good, they use greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, & less than or equal to symbols.

mathlegend · Answer

So that is how you would know.

mathlegend · Answer

To show the inequality model... we would need to make the number line...

For ex.

x > 7
