Question

Joaquun is thinking hard about equations and inequalitjes an comes up with this idea: Jf 45+47=t, then t=45+47. so, If 45+47<t, then t=45+47. Is he right? Explain Why or why not

Answer 1

if 45 + 47 = t, then t = 45 + 47.....correct

if 45 + 47 < t , then t = 45 + 47....incorrect

45 + 47 < t
92 < t .....this is saying that t is greater then 92

t = 45 + 47
t = 92...this is saying t is equal to 92 (not greater)
