Answer:

14 + m > 20

Explanation:

An inequality is basically an expression with these symbols:

> Greater than

> Greater than or equal to

< Less than

< Less than or equal to

M = The variable

14 + m > 20 is the same as 20 < 14 + m

14 + m is greater than 20 and 20 is less than 14 + m is the same thing

What we know:

- Sum = addition

- 14 is the constant ( number )

- you are adding 14 to the number ( m, which is the variable because we don't know the number )

- You use the > symbol to indicate greater than because "14 + m is greater than 20"
