Answer:


-8x \leq -4

Explanation:

You do not know what number -8 will be multiplied by, so the number will be substituted with an x, resulting in -8x. Since the problem says "at most," that means the your equation will require a less than or equal to sign. -4 is the highest that -8x can go therefore it belongs on the right side of the equation in which the "open-mouth" is pointing.
