Question

Translate the sentence into an inequality.

The sum of 7 and w is greater than 21.

?

Answer 1

w>14

Explanation:

"sum" means adding together. So, the sum of 7 and w would be 7+w. The equation states that this sum is greater than 21, so:

7+w>21

if you want a simplified version, subtract 7 from both sides to get w>14

Answer 2

`7+w \ge 21`
