write an inequaltiy
Example 1.
A number minus 4 is greater than 2.
The words "a number" tell us that we need a variable in our inequality, and that the result of the variable less "4" is more than 2. [ We can write it like this:
n - 4 > 2
Let's try one more example.
Example 2.
The sum of x and 5 is less than or equal to -2.
The words "the sum of" give us a clue that our inequality will involve addition. We can write the inequality like this:
x + 5 < -2 ]
