You wrote the equation wrong at the beginning of your drawing, you wrote (6-2) instead of 6+2. $(14-6)+(6+2)?(4(10-8)-(2\times2)$ $(8)+(8)?4(2)-(4)$ $16?8-4$ $16?4$ $16>4$ So the answer is >.

13. chevygirl

sorry its correct the way i drew it my mistake

14. chevygirl

was i right then

15. I4NI

So you're trying to figure out; $(14-6)+(6-2)?4(10-8)-2\times2$ instead of the original inequality?

16. chevygirl

yes sorry

17. I4NI

$(14-6)+(6-2)?4(10-8)-2\times2$ $(8)+(4)?4(2)-2\times2$ $12?8-4$ $12>4$ answer is still >.

18. chevygirl

what did i do wrong in my picture?

19. I4NI

What you did; $4(10-8)-2\times2$ $4(2)-2\times2$ $8\times2-2$ $16-2$ $14$ You multiplied 8 by 2 when you should have multiplied 2 with -2; $4(10-8)-2\times2$ $4(2)-2\times2$ $8-2\times2$ $8-4$ $4$ Basically you followed the order of operations, but not 100% correctly. 8-2x2 You do multiplication first, but with the -2x2 not switching it around to 8x2-2

20. I4NI

You understand? I kind of confused myself with my wording lol

21. chevygirl

ok thank you soo much that was confusing but understandable than you so much

22. I4NI

Yep, no problem.
