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

Option D
