Answer 1

The correct solution set for x, the number of video games in Mark's collection, is x≤12. This is because the total number of video games in Anson's collection is 5 times the number in Mark's collection, so if x is greater than 12, the total number of video games would be greater than 72. Therefore, x must be less than or equal to 12.
