Question

Geraldo has a coupon for $12 off the total bill at a local restaurant. Geraldo does not want to spend more than $65. The inequality \(x-12\le65\) represents the situation. What will be included in the solution set in the context of the problem?
all positive and negative values less than 77
all positive and negative values less than or equal to 77
all positive values less than 77
all positive values less than or equal to 77

Also remember that you cannot spend negative money

\(<\) = Less than
\(\le\) = Less than or equal to
