OpenStudy (blanablas):

Ok then

OpenStudy (blanablas):

So you understand inequalities, right?

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

i guess lol im just really bad in math

OpenStudy (blanablas):

Yeah, so this is the first step

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

not only that but i get anxiety when i do it

OpenStudy (blanablas):

Let's say the two numbers on one side are in a 'pair'

OpenStudy (blanablas):

I feel ya man

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

kk

OpenStudy (blanablas):

so in this inequality, 7 and 50 are a pair, as are 4 and 100

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

kk

OpenStudy (blanablas):

so that means that in the word problems below, those numbers will be paired as well

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

C?

OpenStudy (blanablas):

Nah, it's actually B

OpenStudy (blanablas):

Molly has 50, Molly saves 7 a week

OpenStudy (blanablas):

because those are both on the same side

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):

oh ok

OpenStudy (jeff_the_killer):
