Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of attires Clara has initially = x
lends half her collection of formal attires to her sister
Attires remaining after lending = Number of attires Clara has initially - attires she lent her sister
= x - 1/2x
= 1/2x
Clara then buys four more attires
= 1/2x + 4
If she has 12 attires now
12 = 1/2x + 4
12 - 4 = 1/2x
8 = 1/2x
x = 8 ÷ 1/2
= 8 × 2/1
= 16
x = 16
Number of attires Clara has initially = x = 16
Two ways:
1) guess factors(trial and error)
2) use quadratic formula.
If you use this method then a = -3, b = -6 and c = -1
x = -b +/- [sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a]
substituting a, b, and c into our equation we get:
x = - (-6)+/- [sqrt ((-6)^2) - 4(-3)(-1))/2 (-3)]
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -4 (3)/-6)] if I didnt make a mistake in my signs
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -12)/-6)]
x = 6 +/- [sqrt (24)/-6] but sqrt 6 x sqrt of 4 = sqrt 24 hence
x = 6 +/- [ sqrt 6 x sqrt 4 /-6] that is:
x = 6 +/- [sqrt 6 x 2 /-6 ]
so x = 6 + [sqrt 6 x 2/-6] and x = 6 - [sqrt 6 x 2/-6]
