Hey Bing: Why is math difficult for so many people?

Math can be difficult for many people for various reasons. Some of the common ones are:

Attention difficulties: Math often involves multi-step problems that require focus and concentration¹.
Lack of understanding: Math builds upon previous concepts that need to be understood, not just learned¹³.
Lack of practice or patience: Math requires time and energy to master and apply³.
Lack of relevance: Math may seem abstract or useless for real life situations²⁴.
Learning disorders: Some students may have dyslexia or dyscalculia that affect their ability to read, write or process numbers⁴.

Hey Bing: Tell me about equations and inequalities

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences that relate two expressions to each other³. An equation expresses the equality of two expressions through the equals sign (=), while an inequality expresses an unequal relationship between two expressions using symbols like >, <, ≥, or ≤¹².

For example:

2x + 3 = 11 is an equation
2x + 3 < 11 is an inequality

You can solve equations and inequalities by using various methods such as:

Adding or subtracting terms on both sides
Multiplying or dividing terms on both sides
Distributing terms over parentheses
Combining like terms
Using substitution

Do you want to see some examples of solving equations and inequalities?
