Question

compassionate · Answer

Well, we know it will be $$\le 12$$
So, what is the only thing we're missing?

I have no idea. My teacher hasn't taught this yet

$$x \le 12$$

Its saying, "write an inequality for numbers less than or equal to 12." 

We know that 12 is in there, and our variable can be x, y, or whatever. And since we know the less-than or equal-to sign, we just insert that. 

Its really easy and intuitive. You'll get the hang of it.
