Question

Write an inequality for the given statement: The sum of x and 25 is less than 75.

Answer 1

Don't get overwhelmed, just write it out part by part and before you know it you'll have what you were looking for!

Write out "The sum of x and 25" all by itself. If that seems weird, just write out "The sum of 3 and 5" since that's easier and see what to do.

Then notice they're saying that it "is" something. So if I say x is 10 then I would write x=10. "is" is just the same thing as an equals sign in math.

Good luck, show me your best guess and I'll help.
