x + 4 > 14 [ (x + 4) is <u>greater than </u>14]
So the other side of the equation has to be more than 14, you can be at least 15. Since it doesn't have a line underneath, it can not be 14.
> greater than, < less than
≥ greater than or equal to, ≤ less than or equal to
A. "have at most 14 bottles" This is saying they have a maximum of 14, which is false because it can't be equal to 14
B. "must sell at least 14 cookbooks" This is saying they need a minimum of 14, which is false because it can't be equal to 14
C. "have fewer than 14 hats" This is saying they are below/under/less than 14, which is false because it can't be less than 14
D. "must swim more than 14 laps" This is saying they need to be above 14, which is true
