Question

translate the sentence into an inequality. eight subtracted from w is less than or equal to -27.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the phrase "Eight subtracted from W"

"Eight subtracted from W" means we take W and subtract 8 from it, which is written as \( W - 8 \).

Step2: Analyze the phrase "is less than or equal to -27"

The phrase "is less than or equal to" corresponds to the inequality symbol \( \leq \), and the number we are comparing to is -27. So we combine the two parts from Step 1 and Step 2 to form the inequality.

Answer:

\( W - 8 \leq -27 \)
