Question

Three is less than the sum of a number s and 4

Answer 1

$s > - 1$
That is your answer for s.

Answer 2

Answer:

Expression is,

$3 < s + 4$

Solution is -1 < s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given phrase,

Three is less than the sum of a number s and 4,

∵ Sum of s and 4 = s + 4,

Now, in the inequality,

We use < for 'less than'

Hence, 3 is less than s + 4

$\implies 3 < s + 4$

Which is the required expression,

By solving it,

$3-4<s$

$\implies -1<s$
