You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can add the same quantity to both sides
of an inequality without violating it
Try simple examples like
2+%3E+1
Suppose I add 1000 to both sides?
1002+%3E+1001
It's still just as true as it was before
r+-+12+%3C+7
I'll add 12 to both sides
r+%3C+19
The correct choice is (4)
