Question

Three is less than the sum of a number s and 4

Answer 1

`s > - 1`
That is your answer for s.

Answer 2

Expression is,

`3 < s + 4`

Solution is -1 < s.

Explanation:

Given phrase,

Three is less than the sum of a number s and 4,

∵ Sum of s and 4 = s + 4,

Now, in the inequality,

We use < for 'less than'

Hence, 3 is less than s + 4

`\implies 3 < s + 4`

Which is the required expression,

By solving it,

`3-4<s`

`\implies -1<s`
