I'll give a medal :D (and a cookie).

Henry's rocket is designed to launch to a height of 100 feet in the air. The measurements so far have the launch height (h) varying no more than 4 feet. Which inequality below represents this scenario?

a) lh - 4l lesser than or equal to 100
b) lh + 4l greater than or equal to 100
c)lh - 100 lesser than or equal to 4
d) lh + 100l greater than or equal to 4

I think its a, but I'm checking to be safe. :)

No idea how so. I remember this problem because I had the same one last month. I found it on internet for my HW.
