Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( h + 8 \leq 9 + 12 \):

1. First, simplify the right side: \[ 9 + 12 = 21 \] Therefore, the inequality becomes: \[ h + 8 \leq 21 \]

2. Next, subtract 8 from both sides: \[ h \leq 21 - 8 \] \[ h \leq 13 \]

The solution to the inequality is: \[ h \leq 13 \]

So the appropriate response is: h ≤ 13.
