Question

true or false? the order of an inequality remains the same if a number is added or subtracted on both sides of the inequality

Answer 1

Let's evaluate the statement with numbers.

6 > 5

Adding 2 to both sides:

6 + 2 > 5 + 2

8 > 7

Or, subtracting 3 from both sides:

6 - 3 > 5 - 3

3 > 2

So, as can be seen, if you add or subtract the same value to each side of an inequality, the inequality remains true.

Answer: True.
