Answer:


52-p<43

Explanation:

There was a total of 52 players but then some left the team. Since we don't know how many left, we use a variable. Left indicates subtraction, so the equation would be 52 - p.

However we still have the last sentence of the information. Since 43 players remain and we don't know how many players left, I put the '<' sign.

Thus, my answer was:
52-p<43
