Question

Three times the sum of half Carlita's age and 3 is at least 12. What values represent Carlita's possible age?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carlita is at least 2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Carlita's age

3[(1/2)x + 3] ≥ 12       Divide both sides by 3.

(1/2)x + 3 ≥ 4

(1/2)x ≥ 1

x ≥ 2

Answer 2

Answer:

at least 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(.5x+3)>12

1.5x+9>12

1.5>9

x>6
