It is ≥ because it can be equal to 6 but not more than 6. I’m sorry that might not make the most sense but it’s kinda hard to explain. I hope that makes some sense!!

Answer:

x ≤ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For clarification, ≤ means "less than or equal to"

So... x is less than or equal to 6.

x is the books in your bag. The 6 is there because there are 6 or fewer books in your bag.

That means the number of books in your bag would be 6 or less.

Therefore, x ≤ 6 would be the right inequality for this situation.
