Answer:

6s + 8c ≥ 900

Step-by-step explanation:

The library has <em>at least</em> 900 square feet available. It means <em>900 or more</em>.

If s is the number of study cubicles and c is the number of computer stations, the total space occupied by them is 6s+8c. That space is 900 or more square feet, so our inequality is 6s + 8c ≥ 900
