Final answer:

To find the solution to the problem, we translate the given statement into an equation and solve for the variable m. The solution is m ≥ 144, which can be written in interval notation as [144, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we need to translate the given statement into an equation and then solve for the variable m.

The statement '12 less than m is no less than 132' can be translated as m - 12 ≥ 132.

Adding 12 to both sides of the inequality, we get m ≥ 144.

The answer can be written in interval notation as [144, ∞).
