Write an inequality to represent the sentence.
1.A number y is no more than −8.
2.A number tt multiplied by −4 is at least −25.
I just realized... Did it copyright the statement? Oh well, I understood it after reading it ONE HUNDRED fridging times!!!
1. To represent the sentence "A number y is no more than -8," we can write the inequality as:
y ≤ -8
The symbol "≤" represents "less than or equal to."
To get this answer, we used the following steps:
- The sentence states that the number y is "no more than -8," which means y can be less than or equal to -8.
- We represented this condition with the inequality y ≤ -8 by using the "less than or equal to" symbol.
2. To represent the sentence "A number tt multiplied by -4 is at least -25," we can write the inequality as:
-4t ≥ -25
The symbol "≥" represents "greater than or equal to."
To get this answer, we used the following steps:
- The sentence states that the number tt multiplied by -4 is "at least -25," which means the result of multiplying tt by -4 can be greater than or equal to -25.
- We represented this condition with the inequality -4t ≥ -25 by using the "greater than or equal to" symbol.
