X < 2 The open circle tells us that 2 is not included The arrow tells us that everything to the left of 2 is included Could 3 be a solution? Could 0 be a solution? No yes
X ≤ 2 The closed circle tells us that 2 is included. The arrow tells us that everything to the left of 2 is also included. Could 2 be a solution? Could 3 be a solution? Yes No
