Let 'x' be the price of the car

"no less than $5000" means that the price must be equal to or more than $5000 which means that x%3E=5000. Alternatively, you can write it as 5000%3C=x


Also, "no more than $10000" means that the price cannot exceed $10000. So x%3C=10000


Now combine the two inequalities to get 5000%3C=x%3C=10000

So you want to buy a car between 5 and 10 grand
5000<=x<=10000
