This can be represented using an inequality as follows:

x / (-3) - 10 >= -1

Where x is the unknown number.

To solve for x, we can first add 10 to both sides of the inequality:

x / (-3) >= -1 + 10

Simplifying:

x / (-3) >= 9

We can now multiply both sides of the inequality by -3. However, we have to reverse the inequality sign because we are multiplying by a negative number.

x <= -3 * 9

Simplifying:

x <= -27

Therefore, any number x that is less than or equal to -27 will satisfy the original inequality.
