Question

Drag the correct symbol into the box to compare the expressions.

8+7–22 3² + 2 is it = or not equal

Answer 1

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 8+7-22`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 15-22`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto -7`

And

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 3^2+2=9+2=11`

Clear cut

• LHS<RHS

Answer 2

• Not equal

Explanation:

We know that:

• Given expression: 8 + 7 – 22 □ 3² + 2

To find out if the LHS and the RHS are equal or not, we will need to simplify both sides of the equation.

Solution:

• 8 + 7 – 22 □ 3² + 2
• => 15 - 22 □ 9 + 2
• => -7 □ 11
• => -7 ≠ 11

Hence, both sides of the equation are not equal.
