Question

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

I need this right away!!

Answer 1

Carlita is at least two

Explanation:

Answer 2

• Carlita's age is at least 2 years

Explanation:

Let Carlita's age be x.

Then we have inequality:

• 3×(1/2×x + 3) ≥ 12

Solve the inequality for x:

• 3×(1/2×x + 3) ≥ 12
• 1/2×x + 3 ≥ 12/3
• 1/2×x + 3 ≥ 4
• 1/2×x ≥ 4 - 3
• 1/2×x ≥ 1
• x ≥ 2
