The sum of a number and 8 is no more than the square of the difference of the number and 4.Which of the following inequalities can be used to determine the unknown number?

The word expression can be represented as follows
let
the number = x
Therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Sum\text{ of a number and 8 = x+8} \\ \text{square of the difference of the number and 4=(x-4)}^2 \\ x+8<(x-4)^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is D.
