You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let 'x' be some dollar amount (eg how much an item costs at a store)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if an item costs \"at least\" 10 dollars, then that item is either $10 or more. So this means that $\"x%3E=10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "On the other hand, if the item costs \"at most\" 30 dollars, then this is the max that the item can cost. So $\"x%3C=30\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: If we say that the item costs \"at least\" 10 dollars AND it costs \"at most\" 30 dollars, this means that the item is between $10 and $30 and can be symbolized as $\"10%3C=x%3C=30\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
