Translate the sentence into an inequality.
A number y increased by 2 is greater than 22
A number y increased by 2 is greater than or equal to 16.
The inequality for the given sentence would be: y + 2 > 22
To translate the sentence into an inequality, we need to express mathematically what it means for "a number y increased by 2" to be "greater than 22."
Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: "A number y increased by 2"
To express this in mathematical terms, we write: y + 2
Step 2: "Is greater than"
To express this in mathematical terms, we use the ">" symbol.
Step 3: "22"
To express this in mathematical terms, we simply write 22.
Putting it all together, we have:
y + 2 > 22
So, the inequality that translates the sentence is "y + 2 > 22."
increased means added to, right?
so, y+2 ...
