5. 7> x <9

[mrboba1]

7. how do you do that???

x is less than 7 and greater than 9? Is this new math??

:silly:

[MissAnnThrope]

10. Um...

No, 7>x<9 means 7 is greater than x, but x is lesser than 9.

If you break it down, you would get:

7>x, which means 7 is greater than x.

x<9, means x is lesser than 9.

I hope this clears up your problems with pre-algebra.

[mrboba1]

13. say that again?

7 is greater than x. What could x be here? (6), not (8)
and x is less than 9. (6) or (8).

How does that answer: "I'm thinking of a number between 7 and 9?"

??

on edit: whoops - I see I mistyped above...

[MissAnnThrope]

17. oops

What's scary is, I read it the way it was supposed to be read and it made perfect sense to me as it read.

And to think, I got A's in all sorts of math...

[soupkitchen]

11. Yeah its the same math Republicans use for their budgets

7<x>9, then. I guess I have to stay away from math jokes.

[parkening]

16. Here's the proper formulation

7<x<9

[alittlelark]

9. Why was 6 scared of 7?

because 7 8 9
