Mark and Anson each have a video game collection. The number of video games in Mark's collection can be represented by x. The number of video games in Anson's collection is 5 times the number in Mark's collection. The total number of video games is no more than 72. What is the solution set for x, the number of video games in Mark's collection? (1 point)

x ≤ 12

x ≤ -12

x ≥ 15

x ≥ -1

1 answer

The number of video games in Anson's collection is 5x (5 times the number in Mark's collection).

The total number of video games is no more than 72: x + 5x ≤ 72.

Combining like terms, we have 6x ≤ 72.

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 6, we get x ≤ 12.

Therefore, the solution set for x, the number of video games in Mark's collection, is x ≤ 12.
