Answer 1

In this scenario, the age requirement is that a student must be at least 12 years old to have a social media account. Since Marcie is 11 years old, her age is less than the requirement of 12 years.

Therefore, if \( x \) represents Marcie's age, the inequality that compares her age to the requirement is:

\[ x < 12 \]

So, the answers are:

- Marcie's age is **less than** the age requirement.
- The inequality is **x < 12**.
