• It is used to separate different operations.

Which of the following is a true statement?

• 1 + 1 = 3

• 2 = 1 + 1

• 3 - 1 = 1 + 1 + 1

• 1 + 1 = 1 + 2

What does the not equal sign indicate?

• The quantities on both sides are different.

• The quantities on both sides are the same.

• The right side is greater than the left side.

• The left side is greater than the right side.
