Write an inequality to model the situation.

Question

In many states, you must be at least 16 years old to obtain a driver’s license. Let a = age.

Answer 1

To model the situation where you must be at least 16 years old to obtain a driver's license, you can use the inequality:

\[ a \geq 16 \]

This states that your age \( a \) must be greater than or equal to 16 in order to obtain a driver's license.
