Question

Eight increased by the product of a number and 5 is at most -28 (translate the sentence into an inequality)

Answer 1

The inequality would be 8+5x
`\leq`-28

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence says "8 increased", this is telling you that the inequality includes the number 8 that is being added to something else.

"Product of a number and 5", this tells you that there is a variable that is being multiplied by 5.

"at most -28" means that it is less than or equal to -28.
