Question

Can someone help me, what is the product of a number and four is at most -10?

Answer 1

You are looking for an algebraic expression, I'm assuming?

what's an expression for "the product of a number and 4"

Answer 2

a product is the result of multiplying

Answer 3

And if something is "at most" some number, than it could be less than that number, or equal to that number, but it cannot be more than that number.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, I forgot to add that I'm just suppose to write an inequality

Answer 5

Yes, that's what we figured. :) Just read what's above, does it make sense?

Answer 6

"the product of a number and four" ---> write an expression using a variable, pick whatever one you like, for "a number"

"is at most" ---> This tells you what the inequality sign should look like (both its direction, and whether it is strict or weak)

" -10" ---> this goes on the other side of the inequality.

Answer 7

I should say:

"the product of a number and four" ---> write an expression using a variable, pick whatever one you like, for "a number" and take a product of it with 4
