Okay Let's say
2x + 3 = 45
-3 -3
----------------
2x = 42
--- ---
2 2 x = 21
The < and > signs mean lesser and greater than. = means equal(s). The signs will always look like they are eating the bigger value. For example:
12<29
Twelve is lesser than twenty-nine, or
29>12
Twenty-nine is greater than twelve.
An equation uses an equal sign
12+8=20
When you're using all of them, it can look like this:
1<n<29
This is read as "one is lesser than n which is lesser than 29". These can be used to determine the lengths of the sides of a triangle. In this case, n must be between 1 and 29 for it to be the side of a triangle.
Actual cost of the car bought by Alvarez family = $2000
Amount of down payment made by the Alvarez family = $500
Outstanding amount
that has to be paid by the Alvarez family = (2000 - 500) dollars
= 1500 dollars
Number of equal payments to pay the outstanding balance = 5
So
Payment that has to be made
by the Alvarez family in 5 equal parts = 1500/5 dollars
= 300 dollars
So the Alvarez family has to make 5 payments of $500 to complete the outstanding amount of the car. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
