What are the five steps you are supposed to use?
Help with solving don't need five steps . Thanks
I need help with this problem.
solve:
.12m + 35 < .22m + 25
The five step-method is probably a term your teacher uses, and is not generally known.
The number of steps shouldn't really matter.
Here is the way I would do this ....
.12m + 35 < .22m + 25
-.1m < -10
m > 100
so for usage of more than 100 minutes, plan B would be better
check with a number like 150 minutes
.12m + 35 < .22m + 25
