Hello.

First of all, let the number be t.

The product of 5 and t is written like so:


\mathrm{5t}

9 increased by means we add 9, so let's add 9 to 5t:

5t+9

Now, this expression is greater than or equal to -18:


\mathrm{5t+9\geq -18}

Therefore, the final answer is:


\mathrm{5t+9\geq -18}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
