to apply for a driver's license.

a. Which of the following represents your friend's situation?

ling
x+3≥ 16

Answer 1

The first one, x+3<16

Explanation:

The first one is correct. X represents your friend. In three years, your friend will still not be able to get a license.

Thus, your friend now + three years is STILL LESS THAN SIXTEEN.

X + 3 < 16

That is what that conveys.
