How do we write the sentence “adding 4 to a number gives a result greater than 10” as an inequality?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x + 4 > 10

The governing concept is translating verbal statements into algebraic inequalities. Let the unknown number be x. The phrase “adding 4 to a number” means x + 4, not x − 4 or 4x. The phrase “greater than 10” is represented by the strict symbol >, so the complete inequality is x + 4 > 10. Therefore option A is correct. The statement does not say “at least 10,” which would require ≥, nor does it say “less than 10,” which would require <. Option B reverses the comparison, option C subtracts 4 instead of adding it, and option D treats addition as multiplication. Careful attention to both the operation and comparison phrase gives the unique answer.
