in some states in order to drive you must be at least 16 years old to obtain a driver's lisense. write an inequality to express this situation
let k be the legal driving age.
k>15
actually, if k is the legal age, and y is your age,
y >= k
in a state with k=16,
y >= 16
the question was about your age, not the legal age.
To express this situation mathematically as an inequality, we can represent the minimum age requirement to obtain a driver's license as "x" where x is the age in years. Therefore, the given condition can be represented as:
x ≥ 16
This inequality states that "x" must be greater than or equal to 16 in order to drive, meaning a person must be at least 16 years old to obtain a driver's license.
