Question 1204662
.


This wording is ambiguous: it can be correctly translated in other form


        -10 >= 2*(x+14)


and there is no way / (no criterion)  to distinct,  which of the two possible translations
is more correct:  they  BOTH  are equally correct.




It happens very often that wording expressions are ambiguous in Math.


Therefore, people invented and use mathematical language 
to express their thoughts in clear form,  avoiding ambiguity.



It is true not only for  Math,  but for every other specialized area of knowledge/science:
- Physics,  Chemistry,  Biology,  Astronomy,  Geology,  Economy  etc.


Every science has its own terminology and the way to describe its subject.


Plain everyday English  (as any other human language)  does not replace 
and can not replace specialized professional languages in other areas.



Plain everyday English is good only in its area of applicability.
When it becomes ambiguous, it becomes inapplicable.



Learning Math is not only solving problems.
It is also learning a way speaking Math.
