Hi!
First, let me explain that open circles mean that the answer starts after or before that number. So if the answer is q < 4, the answer would be C, and not B.
If the answer was q ≤ 4, the answer would be B, and not C.
I hope that makes sense. Now let's solve the inequality.
Remember that whatever we do to the inequality, we have to do it to both sides.
We need to isolate q on one side.
11q + 5 ≤ 49
Start by subtracting 5 from both sides.
11q + 5 - 5 ≤ 49 - 5
11q ≤ 44
Divide by 11 on both sides.
11q/11 ≤ 44/11
q ≤ 4
The answer is B.
Hope this helps! :)
