Question

Which of the inequalities matches the statement? “A number y, increased by 14 is greater than 22”

A)y-14>22
B)y-14<22
C)14-y<22
D)y+14>22

Answer 1

D)y+14>22

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case what we must do is rewrite the given expression algebraically.

We have the following expression:

"A number y, increased by 14 is greater than 22"

Rewriting we have:

`A\ number\ y\,\ increased\ by\ 14\ = \ y + 14`

`is\ greater\ than\ =\ > \\22 = 22`

Therefore the complete inequality is given by:

`y + 14> 22`

Answer:

`y + 14> 22`
