Algebra.Com's Answer #674427 by Fombitz(32388) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer you gave was for exactly 8 and exactly 5 but the problem says at least 8 and at least 5. \n" ); document.write( "At least means 8 or more and 5 or more. \n" ); document.write( "So look at the total from 8 to 12 for the first one and from 5 to 12 for the second one. \n" ); document.write( "At least 8 or 8-12: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "At least 5 or 5-12: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ".\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
