If you want the correct answer I will work through it with you, but posting again and again without asking for explanation will only prompt many of us to give wrong answers.
I'm not being rude, I want to teach people, not give answers.

Answer 4

okay i understand and can you please teach me... i didn't realize i posted it more than once my bad...

Answer 5

ok then, happy to help...

Answer 6

what does it mean that the fish must be at least 18 in or more? can you write that in an expression?

Answer 7

are you asking me a ? or asking me to do it?

Answer 8

just what does it mean? here's an example. If I say I need at least 5 apples, and I call the number of apples x, then this is\[x \ge5\](greater-than or equal-to) so this says the number of apples must be greater-than or equal-to 5. Now your problem says the fish must be at least 18in, so using what I said above, how can we write this?

Answer 9

\[18 \ge x? \]

Answer 10

\[18 \le 27 ?\]

Answer 11

wait sorry the above is wrong

Answer 12

oh..

Answer 13

it should be \[x \ge18\]for the first statement

Answer 14

see how this means x (the length of the fish) must be greater-than or equal to 18in?
does that make sense?
(sorry for not noticing immediately)
