I got it right on edge

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A) 96 + x ≤ 149

This is the same as saying "96 + x less than or equal to 149"

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with 96 people already on board. We add on x more people. The x is a placeholder for a positive whole number.

In total, we have 96+x people on the plane. This total must not exceed the max capacity of 149. In other words, the largest value of 96+x is 149.

Since 96+x can be 149 or smaller, we can say 96+x ≤ 149
