Write an inequality for the given statement: the sum of y and 20 is more than 50.

Hey!

Hope this helps...

We know that we will be using the greater than symbol...

By know this we can assume that the start of the problem looks like this:

> 50

This is because the answer of said question MUST be greater than 50...

We also know that the question states "the sum of y and 20"

So... that will look like this:

y + 20

We also know that it says "the sum of y and 20 is more than 50", so we set that up like this:

y + 20 > 50

So the inequality for this is: y + 20 > 50
