Three times a number m plus 14 is greater than or equal to negative 12 . Fourteen more than three times a number m is less than −12 . Fourteen more than three times a number m is less than negative 12 . Fourteen more than three times a number m is greater than or equal to −12 . Fourteen more than three times a number m is greater than or equal to negative 12 . Fourteen more than three times a number m is less than or equal to −12 .

Answer 1

The inequality \( 3m + 14 \leq -12 \) translates directly to a verbal statement.

The closest correct representation among the provided options is:

**Fourteen more than three times a number m is less than or equal to −12.**

This statement matches the inequality format where "less than or equal to" corresponds to the symbol \( \leq \) in the inequality.
