Algebra is Faster And Better Than “Basic” Math
Just as multiplying two by twelve is faster than counting to 24 or adding 2 twelve times, algebra helps us solve problems more quickly and easily than we could otherwise. Algebra also opens up whole new areas of life problems, such as graphing curves that cannot be solved with only foundational math skills.
Answer: well, we don't have another number so i'll use variables
VG < 15
An easy way to remember what is the lesser value is to think of an alligator; the alligator wants to eat the bigger prey so in your case the bigger prey would be 15.
The answer is less than :)
Remmeber you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to btoh sides
5-6(a+2)=7+a
distribute
5-6a-12=7+a
add like terms
-6a-7=7+a
add 6a both sides
-7=7+7a
minus 7 both sides
-14=7a
divide by 7
-2=a
a=-2
