The statement about Marcie's age and the social media account requirement has a small error in the interpretation of the inequality.
Marcie is 11 years old, which means that her age (x) is actually less than the age requirement of 12 years. Therefore, the correct inequality relating her age to the requirement should be:
\( x < 12 \)
This expresses that Marcie's age is less than the minimum age required to have a social media account.
So, the final answer should be:
Marcie's age \( x \) is less than \( 12 \), and the correct inequality is \( x < 12 \).
