Answer 3

I don't think they wanted you to do that far with it.
You're told that \(\large\rm 5\le~stuff\) and \(\large\rm stuff\lt 17\)

Therefore, \(\large\rm 5\le~stuff\lt17\).

Answer 4

I think they wanted you to stop there, not solve for a :o

Answer 5

\(\large\rm 3\le a\lt 7\)

Answer 10

@JB1625 please don't hijack someone else's question. :o
Go open your own thread.

Answer 11

In text you would write it like this `<=`,
In the equation tool, you have to type \le or you can find it on the list of symbols.

Answer 12

Well I just wanted to make sure that you saw it sorry

Answer 13

Answer 14

Use the pager program @JB1625 :)
If you type @zepdrix somewhere in your own thread, it will alert me to it.

Answer 15

Or you could google `less than or equal to` and copy paste the symbol :)
That might be easier.
