a. Emily will spend no more than 2 hr studying history.
b. The number of hours spent studying algebra cannot be negative. 
A) a. $x > 2$;
b. $y \geq 0$

B) a. $y \leq 2$;
b. $x \geq 0$

C) a. $y < 2$;
b. $x \geq 0$

D) a. $x \leq 2$;
b. $y \geq 0$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For part (a), "no more than 2 hr studying history" translates to $y \leq 2$. For part (b), "cannot be negative" for algebra study hours means $x \geq 0$.
