Answer:

Option C. x + 12 ≤ 2(x – 3)

Explanation:

From the question, we obtained the following information:

x + 12 ≤ 5 – y .......(1)

5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3) ....... (2)

To know which option is correct, do the following:

From equation 2,

5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3)

Thus, we can say

5 – y = 2(x – 3)

Now, we shall substitute the value of 5 – y into equation 1 as shown below:

x + 12 ≤ 5 – y

5 – y = 2(x – 3)

x + 12 ≤ 2(x – 3)

From the above illustration, we can see that if x + 12 ≤ 5 – y and 5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3), then x + 12 ≤ 2(x – 3) must be true.

Option C gives the correct answer.
