#=>n >= -35#

Let's call the number #n#.

"The quotient of a number and 7". This is division.

# ->n/7#

"Is at least negative 5". This means some quantity cannot be less than -5. So the quantity is greater than or equal to -5.

#-> >= -5#

So we have:

#=> n/7 >= -5#

If you want to solve for #n#, just multiply both sides by 7:

#=>n >= -35#
