Answer:

b - 4 ≤ 15

b ≤ 19

Explanation:

The statement "at most" typically means no more than, so the inequality sign would have to be "less than or equal to"

To solve for be all you would do is add 4 to both sides to get b by itself.

b - 4 ≤ 15

b - 4 + 4 ≤ 15 + 4

(-4 + 4 cancels itself out)

(15 + 4 = 19)

b ≤ 19
