<span>x – 12 ≥ 18
Let's break down the sentence and create an inequality from it. We'll use X to represent the number.
"Twelve fewer than a number is at least 18."
The "Twelve fewer than a number" indicates subtraction, so let's do that.
X - 12
"is at least 18." would be a greater than or equal relationship. So we have
X - 12 ≥ 18
And we're done. The desired equation is:
x – 12 ≥ 18</span>

Answer:
In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.
In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)
6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property
6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property
In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.
In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.
