Question

The sum of two numbers is no more than 28. Let x represent the first number, and let y represent the second number. Which

inequality represents this situation?
A y B y 5x+28
C x+y < 28
D X+ y s 28

Answer 1

`x + y\leq 28` is the inequality that represents this situation

Solution:

Given that sum of two numbers is no more than 28

Let "x" represent the first number

Let "y" represent the second number

To find: Inequality that represents this situation

Sum of two numbers means we have to add "x" and "y"

Sum of two numbers is no more than 28

Here, "no more than 28" , means that not greater than 28

It can be less than or equal to 28

Thus we frame a inequality as,

`\text{ sum of x and y } \leq 28`

`x + y\leq 28`

Thus the required inequality is found
