why
The inequality "l + 6.5 ≤ 12" is the correct representation in this scenario because it accounts for the length of the bed (6.5 ft) that is already along the wall. By adding the length of the potential dresser (l) to the existing length of the bed, the inequality ensures that the combined length does not exceed the length of the wall (12 ft). In other words, the inequality states that the sum of the length of the bed and the length of the dresser should be less than or equal to the length of the wall.
