Question

The sum of two and a number is less than five

Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the English statement

''The sum of two and number is less than five''.

Let us breakdown the statement.

• Let 'n' be the number.

• The sum of two and number = 2 + n

We know that the less than symbol is denoted by '<' which is used for comparison.

Thus, the statement 'The sum of two and a number is less than five' is algebraically represented as:

• 2 + n < 5

Let us solve the algebraic expression.

$2+n$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$2+n-2$

Simplify

$n$

Thus, the solution is:

$2+n$
