Question
Translate the sentence into an inequality.Three times the sum of a number and 27 is at most −23.Use the variable b for the unknown number.
Solution
The sentence translates into the following inequality:
3 * (b + 27) ≤ -23
Here's the step-by-step translation:
-
"Three times the sum of a number and 27" can be written as 3 * (b + 27), where b is the unknown number.
-
"is at most" translates to the "less than or equal to" symbol (≤).
-
"-23" remains the same.
So, put it all together and you get: 3 * (b + 27) ≤ -23.
