setting the value equal
I'm totally at a loss as to what this means. It's in a document I'm translating, and it seems they've copied it from Investopedia's definition of MSRR (www.investopedia.com)
Can someone convert it into an easier to understand definition?
Thank you!!

: yes, it amounts roughly to that, but there are few important "nuances" missing - like the meaning of these two "values" what do they represent exactly.

: Question is English monolingual; what use is Arabic to Laura, an Italian native speaker? "they become 1 value" makes zero sense to me

Same figure of value for a group or one. They become 1 value.

amount of money in = amount of money out
There's a plain example in the website I cited as reference.

: nowhere near // the whole point of investing is that "money out" should be MORE than "money in"

It sounds like you may be having trouble with the whole definition rather than just the phrase you asked about. Here's one you may find easier to understand:

Can someone convert it into an easier to understand definition?
simple and only answer NO. Can be rephrased in few other ways, but it still won't make it any "simpler". You will still need the basics of how interests on capital are calculated, and the basics of geometric progressions.
