Answer:
4y - 9 > 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Translate the sentence into an inequality. Nine subtracted from the product of 4 and a number is greater than 17. Use the variable y for the unknown number.
Unknown variable = y
Nine subtracted from the product of 4 and a number is greater than 17
4 multiplied by unknown variable 'y' = (4 * y) = 4y
9 subtracted from (4y) = 4y - 9
Then, the result is said to be greater than 17
4y - 9 > 17
Hence, The Inequality expression equivalent to the sentence above is 4y - 9 > 17
