HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

be very very careful here, because of the word "or"

OpenStudy (misty1212):

and not to disagree with my friend @chlobohoe but you cannot fill in the inequalities above, that will not work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow im an idiot.. misty is right it isnt going to one equation its going to be two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait im lost now

OpenStudy (misty1212):

"at most' and "at least" are confusing, but you can think of it by remembering something like "you have to be at least 18 to drink in this bar" or "you have to be at least 4 feet tall to ride on this ride'

OpenStudy (misty1212):

"at least" means "greater than or equal to" \(\huge \geq\)
