Answer:

The equation representing the number of purses Ceirra has is c=3+\frac{1}{2}\times a.

Ceirra has <u>9</u> purses in her collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cierra has three more than 1/2 as many purses as Asia.

Solution,

Let the number of purses Cierra has be 'c'.

And also the number of purses Asia has be 'a'.

Now according to question, Cierra has 3 more than 1/2  purses as Asia has.

Framing in equation form, we get;

c=3+\frac{1}{2}\times a

Hence The equation representing the number of purses Ceirra has is c=3+\frac{1}{2}\times a.

Now we solve the equation;

Since Asia has 12 purses.

So we substitute the value of 'a', and get;

c=3+\frac{1}{2}\times12=3+6=9

Hence Ceirra has <u>9</u> purses in her collection.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First computer takes x min. For 1 min it does 1/x part of work.

Second computer takes (x+24) min. For one min it does 1/(x+24) part of work.

Both computers for one min do   (1/x+1/(x+24)) part of work.

At the same time, both computers for one min do 1/9 part of work.

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+24} = \frac{1}{9} &#10;\\ \\  \frac{x+24+x}{x(x+24)} =  \frac{1}{9} &#10;\\ \\9(2x+24)=x^{2} +24x&#10;\\ \\ 18x+216=x^{2} +24x&#10;\\ \\ x^{2}+6x-216=0&#10;\\ \\ D=b^{2}-4ac=36+4*216 = 900&#10;\\ \\ x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{D} }{2a}  =  \frac{-6+/-30}{2} &#10;\\ \\ x_{1}=-18, x_{2}=12&#10;&#10;We can use only positive number here. So, &#10;&#10;for the first computer x=12 min,&#10;&#10; for second computer x+24=12+24= 36 min&#10;&#10;Answer 12 min and 36 min.
