Two more than ... 2+
is more than ... >

Someone respond if you are a math matition
To write an inequality for this statement, let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Start by representing "a number" with a variable. For example, let's use "x".
Step 2: Express the sum of a number and three as "x + 3".
Step 3: Then, add two more to the sum: "x + 3 + 2".
Step 4: Finally, the inequality states that this expression is more than fifteen, so we can write the inequality as:
x + 3 + 2 > 15
To simplify the inequality, combine like terms:
x + 5 > 15
This is the inequality that represents the statement "Two more than the sum of a number and three is more than fifteen."
