How can I type the following in Overleaf?

Question

How can I type the above in overleaf ?

Here is my MWE

\documentclass[english,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[left=1.5cm, right=1.5cm, top=1.5cm, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{mathptm}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
    \item  $-2\leqslant x\leqslant 8$.\hfill(2 marks)
    %%%%%%%in \leqslant is < is too wide and = is tilted
%%%%%%% I'm strictly in dire need of the inequalities represented by the screenshot.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Mar 12 '22 at 07:40
What exactly is the issue you’re having? The less than or equal sign? Also, probably not an Overleaf issue. — Ingmar, Mar 12 '22 at 07:56
the problem is about achieving the type of less symbol shown in the inequality above. — Elijah Ojiambo, Mar 12 '22 at 14:43
Does this answer your question? How to look up a symbol or identify a letter from a math alphabet or other character? — cosum, Mar 12 '22 at 21:39

If your problem is to produce the less-or-equal symbol, I suggest you take a look at this answer to the more general question "How to look up a symbol or identify a letter from a math alphabet or other character?"

Anyway, ≤ is produced by \leq. With the package amssymb you also get access to ⩽, produced by \leqslanted.

\leq is short compared to the one displayed above – Elijah Ojiambo Mar 13 '22 at 08:09
