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.
