seven subtracted from the product of 5 and a number is at most -22

Question

translate the sentence into an inequality

Answer 1

Let x = the number

5x = the product of 5 and the number

5x-7 (seven less than the product of 5 and the number)

5x - 7 ≤ -22 (at most -22 means less than or equal to -22, i.e. 7 subtracted from 5x could be numbers like -50, -25, .... up to and including -22)
