Final answer:

To translate and solve the equation '6 fewer than s is no less than -78' into interval notation, we add 6 to both sides of the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate and solve the equation '6 fewer than s is no less than -78' into interval notation, we can use the inequality symbol for 'no less than' which is ≥. First, we need to define the variable 's' as the subject. Then, we can translate the equation:

s - 6 ≥ -78

To solve for 's', we add 6 to both sides of the inequality:

s ≥ -78 + 6

Simplifying further, we get the interval notation:

s ≥ -72
