Question

Please help I'm a little confused!

Answer 1

I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.

$8\leq \frac{x}{-4}$     [8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]

If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

$8\leq \frac{x}{-4}$   Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself

$(-4)8\geq \frac{x}{-4} (-4)$    When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)

-32 ≥ x          [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]
