Write a mathematical sentence that expresses the information given below. Use p as your variable name.
If necessary: type < = to mean < or > = to mean
. A football team had 52 players at the start of the season, but then some players left the team. After that, the team had 43 players.​

Answer 1

`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`
