Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The number of video games in Anson's collection is 5 times the number in Mark's collection, so it can be represented as 5x.

The total number of video games is no more than 72, so we can write the inequality: x + 5x ≤ 72.

Simplifying the equation, we get 6x ≤ 72.

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 6, we have x ≤ 12.

Therefore, the solution set for x, the number of video games in Mark's collection, is B) x ≤ 12.
