Answer 2

Let x represent the score that the individual can get
The highest score that is a record for a particular video game is 19,749 points, and it means that the individual could get 19749 points or lower than that, so the inequality will be like this:
$x \leq 19749$
Next, the lowest score on record for the same video game is 176 points, and it also means that the individual could get 176 points or lower, so the inequality will be:
$x \geq 176$.
Finally, we have the two inequality we want and let's combine them, to get:
$176 \leq x \leq 19749$. As a result, D is your final answer. Hope it help!
