Write the word sentence as an inequality. A number b
multiplied by −5
is at most −34
.

-5b <= -34

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality phrase, "at most" is same as "less than or equal to". So the algebraic inequality would be -5b <= -34. To solve for b, divide both sides by -5 and make sure to switch the inequality symbol to >= when dividing or multiplying inequalities by a negative number. So b >= 34 / 5.
