Question

Translate the sentence into an inequality.

Answer 1

Answer:

8b + 27 ≤ - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a number can be written as x or in this case as b because it is an unknown number.

b is multipled by 8 so 8b

"and 27" indicates an addition so therefore, 8b + 27

"at most -29" This is a little bit tricky but ultimately it means 8b + 27 cannot be more than -29. Therefore, it must be lesser than.

However there is a line underneath that lesser than sign meaning lesser than or equal to. I believe that "at most" indicates equal to.

Other than the lesser than or equal to sign I'm unsure about, this inequality should be correct.
