Math Problem Statement

A number plus 8 is greater than 11.

Solution

The sentence in the image reads:

"A number plus 8 is greater than 11."

To translate this into a mathematical inequality:

Let the unknown number be represented by xx.

The sentence "A number plus 8 is greater than 11" becomes: x+8>11x + 8 > 11
