C- 16+x > 26
D- 16+x < 26

Answer 1

16+x ≤ 26

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• inequality
• word problems
• creating word probleme

let's solve:

so the first condition is

the maximum number of students in a classroom is 26

therefore

26 is our subject

and the second condition is

there are 16 students signed up for the art class

it means 16 students have already signed up

let's x be more students

therefore

according to the question

the inequality is

16+x ≤ 26
