D. C + 6 > S − 2
E. C + 6 ≥ S − 2

C + 6 = Charles' age 6 years from now
S - 2 = Sarah's age 2 years ago

We're told that Charles' age (in 6 years) is AT LEAST AS BIG as Sarah's age (2 years ago)
In other words, Charles' age (in 6 years) is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO Sarah's age (2 years ago)
We can write: C + 6 ≥ S − 2

Answer: E
