Idon't know what's it asking me. what should i do?

- a number
- its square
- the sum
- less than or equal
negative three - I don't have to explain this one, do I?

- the sum of a number and its square is less than or equal negative three

The sum of a number (n) and it's square (n^2) is less than or equal to -3. We have to write this out in math lingo.

"The sum of a number" means addition, aka +. Example: 1+1=2. The sum of 1 and 1 is 2.

n + n^2

Is less than (<) or equal to (=) -3

n + n^2 <= -3

<= on your paper is written with the arrow and a line underneath. That is option J.
