oppia: [BUG]: Feedback to learner's incorrect input is confusing
Describe the bug
Learner might not be able to understand the exact input that is wrong with their answer based on the feedback that is being given on the portal.
URL of the page where the issue is observed.
Steps To Reproduce
Type in 30 - 12 = 18 in the math input text box. An error message will pop up that 'It looks like you have entered an equation/inequality. Please enter an expression instead. ’
Expected Behavior
I expected the feedback to be something learner can easily understand. I suggest changing it to “It looks like you have entered an equals sign which turns your answer into an equation. Please remove the equals sign to make your answer an expression”
