Answer:

x ≥ - 24

Explanation:

Let's solve this with an equal sign and then decide how to handle the at least part.

3/4 x = -18 Multiply by 4

3/4 * 4 x = -18*4 Cancel the left, multiply the right.

3x = -72 Divide by 3

x ≥ -24

You need the greater than to indicate that 3/4 of a number can give something larger than - 18.

You need the equal sign to fulfill at least.

At least, in this question means "get larger."

so x > - 24
