I ussually think of them as arrows telling me where to go.
if it is > you go ----->
if it is < you go <------
2x+1=27032
2x=27031
x=13515.5
2x+3
=2(13515.5)+3
=27034
I think it’s p=36 because you have to do the opposite on both sides..
So..
q=-12
P/-12=-3
+12 *12
P=36
X4 + 8 = -36
x4 = -44
x = -11
(-11)4 + 8 = -36
-44 + 8 = -36
-36 = -36
The value exponential is 18
