Question

To play at a park you need to be 5 years old. Children 12 years and older can play without a parent. Taren is x years old and needs to have an adult with him in order to play. Write an inequality that expresses Taren’s possible age

Answer 1

For Taren to be able to play in the park, she needs to be 5 years or older;

And since she'll need an adult with her before she can be allowed to play, it means that she is younger than 12years;

So Taren's possible age can be expressed in equality as;

$5\leq x<12$
