up to = less than or equal to

at least = greater than or equal to


The answer is correct

the max weight shall be 80

mass of small box = 5 lb. ( and there are x number of boxes )

Mass of big box = 12 lb. ( and there are y number of boxes )

adding them up shall be less than or equal to 80 ( as the shelf can withstand up to 80 lbs. )


And the minimum number of boxes shall be equal to 4

If we take the x as the number of boxes, then x would be greater than or equal to 4

Hope my answer helps!
