Choose the correct translation for the given statement.

It must exceed ten.

x < 10

x ≤ 10

x > 10

x ≥ 10

Let x be the number that should exceed ten. This means that x should be greater than 10. Only the third choice satisfy this condition. Some may argue that choice 4 can be the answer. However, there is a bar underneath the greater than sign which signifies that x can be 10, which is untrue.
