Answer:

All positive values less than or equal to 77

Explanation:

We are told the inequality to represent the situation is;

X - 12 ≤ 65

Now, to solve this for X, let's add 12 to both sides.

X - 12 + 12 ≤ 65 + 12

X ≤ 77

What will be include is all positive values of X less than or equal to 77 since he can't have a negative result.
