The sum of two numbers is no more than 28 Let x represent the first number, and let y represent the second number. Which inequality represents this situation?

“The sum of two numbers” is represented by x + y. “No more than 28” means the sum can equal 28 or be less than 28, so the inequality is x + y ≤ 28. This matches choice A, “x plus y is less than or equal to 28.”
