YOUR ANSWER: The statement 4 + 3 != 9 is true.
You are correct. The language of algebra is not limited to equalities but also has symbols with which to construct statements about quantities which are not equal to each other. There are even some specific symbols for saying that one number is larger or smaller than another. For example, the > is read "is greater than" and is used as follows:
6 > 4
This statement would be read "Six is greater than four." The symbol can be turned around to mean "is less than." Thus the statement
7 < 9
would be read "Seven is less than nine."
Which of the statements below is true?
