Scroll down to the middle of this page and read http://www.jcoffman.com/Algebra2/ch1_5.htm It really helps if you're a visual person like me to make a three-second sketch of a number line with two points (open circles or black dots depending) and bold the parts which make the answer work.

Look at example #4 specifically on that link near the bottom of the page  ;-)

Closed circles / Black dots = "includes this point too"
Open circles = "everything right up to, but not this point though"
