Write the word sentence as an inequality.
a number y added to 5.2 is less than 23
The inequality is: ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Add y and 5.2 and use the less than symbol < to show that 23 is greater than the sum of y and 5.2.

If you have trouble remembering the directions of < > and what they mean, my teacher taught me that the alligator wants more food. The "mouth" opens towards the biggest value.
