it states that the owner of the restaurant wants to have seating for<u>more than 68 people</u>, which converts to " > 48 ". it also says a private chef's table <u>seats 2 people</u>, which converts to " + 2 ". finally, it says the owner plans to buy <em>m</em> tables that each seat 4 people, which converts to " 4<em>m</em> " because they are multiplying the number of tables<em>, m</em>, times each 4 people are seated. thus, 4m + 2 > 68 is the final answer.
