Question 2:(2 points)

Question

If a student must be at least 12 years old to have a social media account and Marcie is 11 years old, then Marcie's age is
the age requirement. If x represents Marcie's age, then
is the inequality that compares her age to the requirement.

Answer 1

Marcie is 11 years old, which is less than the required age of 12 years to have a social media account.

To express this situation using inequality:

Let \( x \) represent Marcie's age. Then the inequality that compares her age to the age requirement can be written as:

\[ x < 12 \]

This means Marcie's age (11) is less than the required age (12) to have a social media account.
