    He needs to gain more than 26 yards in order to break his record

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let y stand for the number of yards he'll have to gain. The sum of y plus the number of yards he already has (203) must be greater than 229 in order for him to break the record.

    203 + y > 229 Set up the inequality.

    203 - 203 + y > 229 - 203 Subtract 203 from both sides of the inequality.

    y > 26
