Solution

The sentence translates into the following inequality:

3 * (b + 27) ≤ -23

Here's the step-by-step translation:

  1. "Three times the sum of a number and 27" can be written as 3 * (b + 27), where b is the unknown number.

  2. "is at most" translates to the "less than or equal to" symbol (≤).

  3. "-23" remains the same.

So, put it all together and you get: 3 * (b + 27) ≤ -23.
