Choice A is the correct answer. Solve independently.

1. First: $3x + 3 \leq 9 \rightarrow 3x \leq 6 \rightarrow x \leq 2$
2. Second: $x > -2$
3. Combine: $x > -2$ AND $x \leq 2 \rightarrow -2 < x \leq 2$

?�� Strategic Tip: Pay attention to strict ($>$) vs inclusive ($\leq$) endpoints.

Choice B is incorrect because it makes -2 inclusive. Choice C is incorrect because it misses the lower bound. Choice D is incorrect because it misses the upper bound.
