Answer:

$x + y \leq 28$

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is no more than 28.

let x represent the first number, and let y represent the second number

Sum of two numbers means we add x and y

sum of two numbers is x+y

x+y is no more than 28

Not more than 28 means it is less than or equal to 28

so the inequality becomes

$x + y \leq 28$
