- "The sum of 4 and b" refers to adding 4 and the variable "b."
- "is greater than or equal to" indicates that the sum is either larger or equal to the next value.
- "-15" is the value that the sum should be greater than or equal to.
Now, let's write the inequality:
The sum of 4 and b: 4 + b
Is greater than or equal to: >=
-15
Combining all the elements, the inequality is:
4 + b >= -15
