Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phrase "6 - 5 is less than 5 + 2" indicates inequality, with the left side being smaller than the right side. In symbols, this is written as 6 - 5 < 5 + 2, where "<" means "less than". Option A correctly represents this inequality. Option B uses "=" which means "equal to", which is not what the original statement implied. Option C uses ">" which means "greater than", again not matching the original meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
