Translate to mathematical statements

a) r is less than or equal to ten.

less than or equal means
`\le`

So, the expression is:

`r \le 10`

b) s is more than negative one

More than means >

So, the expression is:

`s > -1`

c) t isn't the same as negative five.

`\\eq`)

So, the expression is:

`t \\e 5`

d) x is at most negative three.

At most means
`\le`

So, the expression is:

`x \le -3`

e) y is never one.
