Answer 5

Ok so you can start by easily eliminating two, just by the way the question is worded. When working with inequalities you want to look for words that tell you what inequality sign you need. Do you know what words those are in the question?

Answer 6

Eliminate C and D?

Answer 7

Not quite. Because the words that tell you what equality symbol you're looking for is "at most" is it no greater than but could also be equal to.

Answer 8

Oh, so it's going to be A and B you eliminate?

Answer 9

Exactly. So, which symbol means less than or equal to? Then you've got an answer
