Question

Question 1

Let m = 3.



Enter >, <, or = to compare the expressions.



4m−1
5m−4

Answer 1

=

Explanation:

Plug in three for m for both equations

4(3) - 1 = 11

5(3) - 4 = 11

The equations are the same so use = to compare them

Answer 2

=

Explanation:

Substitute 3 in for m and solve

4m - 1 = 4(3) - 1 = 11

5m - 4 = 5(3) - 4 = 11
