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?

Jess saw x dramas and y comedies, so the total number of movies is x + y. “No more than 8” means the total can be 8 or any number less than 8, so x + y ≤ 8. The correct choice is “x + y ≤ 8.”
