Answer 1

The correct response that models the one-step, one-variable equation \( x + 7 = 12 \) would be:

Jules has seven fewer records than Ethan. Ethan has twelve records.

In this scenario, if we let \( x \) represent the number of records Jules has, the equation can be structured as:

\[ x + 7 = 12 \]

This means that Jules has 7 fewer records than Ethan, which correctly translates to the equation.
