A. a number and three is at most two

The inequality states that a number and three is less than or equal to two.

“Less than or equal to” means the same thing as “at most”.

So, the inequality states that a number and three is at most two.

ANSWER

A number and three is at most two.

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is

[tex]x + 3 \leqslant 2[/tex]

The emphasis is on the inequality sign.

"≤" means less or equal to.

"≤" also means at most

Therefore,

[tex]x + 3 \leqslant 2[/tex]

means the sum of a number and 3 is at most 2.
