Let's start by defining a variable for the unknown number. Let's call it "x".
According to the sentence, "The sum of a number and 7" can be written as "x + 7".
The sentence also says that this sum "is less than -5". We can write this as:
x + 7 < -5
Therefore, the inequality that represents the sentence is:
x + 7 < -5
Write the inequality that represents the following sentence.
