I am just looking for some guidance whether I am approaching the questions correctly. New to probability!
Prove that if $A$ and $B$ are events, then $$Pr[A cap B] geq Pr[A]+Pr[B]-1$$
I rewrote the statement in the following way :
$$1 geq Pr[A] + Pr[B] - Pr[A cap B]$$
And based on some probability properties, I rewrote out the statement again:
$$1 geq Pr[A cup B]$$
Is this enough to prove the statement?

So you use $$P(Acup B ) = P(A)+P(B)-P(Acap B)$$ and that $P(Acup B)leq 1$
So you got $$1geq P(A)+P(B)-P(Acap B)$$ and now swap $1$ and $P(Acap B)$ and you got what you want.
That is correct.
