Which is an example of an algebraic expression? A. b > –2 B. 12 = a + 6 C. 4 + c > 1 D. m – 3

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Do you know what an inequality is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Which of these are inequalities, then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

No, B says exactly what \(a+6\) equals, so it's an equation :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

What about A, C, and D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm.. A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I suck at this, I'm just now studying this.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

An inequality is when it gives you criteria your answer must match, so A is right :) Are there any other inequalities?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think so.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

C is an inequality, because 4+c \(must\) be greater than 1 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! :) Would you like a medal?

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

And an expression is like a statement, while an equation is a question. An equation asks for an answer, while an expression just states the numbers, like D. No, that's fine haha.

Thanks!
