Last year, Jess saw x dramas and y comedies at the movie theater. If she went to the theater no more than 8 times, which inequality best represents the number of movies she saw?

The total number of movies Jess saw is x + y: x dramas plus y comedies. “No more than 8” means the total is at most 8, so x + y ≤ 8. Choice B, “x plus y is less than or equal to 8,” matches this.
