He airplane Li’s family will be flying on can seat up to 149 passengers. If 96 passengers are currently on the plane, which inequality can be used to determine how many more people can board? 96 + x Less-than-or-equal-to 149
96 + x Greater-than-or-equal-to 149
96 + x > 149
96 + x < 149

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

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

The answer is A
