The total number of video games in Mark's collection is x, and the total number in Anson's collection is 5x. So, the total number of video games between them is x + 5x = 6x.
Since the total number of video games is no more than 72, we have the inequality:
6x ≤ 72
x ≤ 12
Therefore, the solution set for x, the number of video games in Mark's collection, is x ≤ 12.
Mark and Anson each have a video game collection.
• The number of video games in Mark collection can be represented by x.
• The number of video games in Anson collection is 5 times the number in Mark 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?
