Question

Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.

The quotient of a number g and -4 is at most 5 .

Answer 1

g≥-20

Explanation:

The quotient of a number g and -4 is expressed as;

g/-4

If the quotient of a number g and -4 is at most 5, this is expressed as;

g/-4 ≤ 5

Multiply both sides by -4

g/-4 * -4 ≤ 5 * -4

g * ≥ -20

Hence the required solution is g≥-20
