You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A U B means \"either A or B\" in a sense, which basically means that x is either less than 5 OR x ≤ 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put together, this means that x ≤ 7 because x < 5 is part of x ≤ 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Which is why the answer is {x | x ≤ 7}
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
