Translate the sentence into an inequality.

The product of b and 3 is less than or equal to 27

nine subtract from b is less than or equal to -18

The inequality for the sentence "The product of b and 3 is less than or equal to 27" would be: 3b ≤ 27.

To translate the sentence into an inequality, we can use the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the key words in the sentence:
- "The product of b and 3" indicates the multiplication of b and 3.
- "Is less than or equal to" suggests an inequality.

Step 2: Use variables to represent the unknowns:
Let's use the variable x to denote "the product of b and 3."

Step 3: Translate the sentence:
"The product of b and 3 is less than or equal to 27" can be written as:
x ≤ 27

Therefore, the inequality is x ≤ 27, where x represents the product of b and 3.

product of b and 3 ... b*3, or 3b

is less than or equal to ... ≤
27 ... 27

Now just put 'em together.
